PR Operating AC Express Flights?

https://airwaysmag.com/air-canada-ph...-joint-flight/

Philippine Airlines (PR) and Air Canada Express (AC) have completed the inaugural operation of a PR-AC flight between St. John's International airport (YYT) and Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ).

This marks the first flight under a new commercial agreement that strengthens regional service in Eastern Canada. AS per the new agreement, PR will procure up to six additional Dash 8-400 aircraft and introduce them into service progressively on behalf of AC for a maximum term of five years.
Does the author actually mean PAL Airlines (https://www.palairlines.ca/en/), instead of Philippine Airlines?

It would be cool to see one of those PR B773s working that route.

But sadly, I think the author just screwed up.

Story has been corrected, here's the new link.

Here's the FlightAware link for the flight in question.

The app... hasn't quite caught up:

I like the mystery regarding the operator of the flight. It is like a chocolate box.

Story is corrected but not the tags. Still tagged as "Philippine Airlines".

Can't select seats on the AC site for a YOW-YHZ flight operated by PAL.

"As this flight is operated by Air Canada Express - Pal Airlines, you'll need to complete your seat selection with them. Air Canada Express - Pal Airlines seat fees may apply."

Reservation number doesn't seem to work on PAL's website....

You have to phone AC for seat selection on Provincial flights.
