Identify the closest airports to the aforementioned departure and arrival cities along with the airline and equipment serving this route with daily service.
20. This U.S. airline operated affordable flights between New York, Miami and three central American cities. Because it is a U.S. airline however, you can take advantage of its affordable fare between Newark (EWR) and Miami. Identify the airline and the jet type you’ll be flying upon.
26. It used to be that if you wanted to fly on a jet out of Sept-Iles, Quebec, you’d board a Quebecair BAC-111. These days it’s a different single airline operating a different type of jet. Identify the airline and the jet type operated.
11. I believe the airport which serves Laughlin is actually located in another state: Arizona. We are talking about Bullhead City, of course, which can be found just across the mighty Colorado River from Laughlin. And the closest airport to Mountain View in lovely Santa Clara County (well, it was lovely and downright bucolic once upon a time when I was quite young but is now much more urban in nature) would be San Jose. This brings us to Reno Air operating either an MD-80 or MD-87 between BHC and SJC. I'll go with the MD-80.
20. Ah, I think I actually remember this air carrier: Challenge International Airlines. If so, the equipment may have been a B737-200.
26. Following the demise of Quebecair, I do not believe there was ever too much in the way in jet service into Sept-Iles (Seven Iles) in Quebec province (although once upon a time Quebecair operated not only the BAC One-Eleven into YZV but also the B727-100). In fact, only one airline comes to mind: Intair operating a Fokker 100.
