At a business lunch today in Calgary, Calin Rovenescu let it be known that AC is doing the air lift to get 300 fire fighters from JNB to YEG on a chartered 777. He went to discuss the complexities involved with getting an airplane freed from the schedule, all the regulatory filing done for the charter, right through to crewing the airplane and specialized Mtce personnel because AC does not have the manpower on JNB as they don't fly there. Oh, and the South Africans only got the invite 72 hours ago.
From the 300 business people at the YYC chamber luncheon, Great job to everyone at AC for making the airlift firefighter airlift happen in such short notice.
