‘to meet the :

expressed wishes, of a large |

number of consumers, CP
Air will launch a totally new

jet service June 1. It’s called

The airline will use its best -
equipment — the wide-body
Boeing 747 -— in introducing
a year-roiund, once-a-week
no-frills service which
initially will link Toronto
with Edmonton, Calgary and
Vancouver.

Announcing the new
concept, CP Air President
Ian Gray explained that the
airline has been aware of the
increasingly-costly features
of travel such as in-flight
meals and airborne
amenities, reservations,
ticketing, ground handling
and related expenses.

“We have been planning
this concept for a long
period and feel the time has
arrived to test our
philosophy” said Mr. Gray.
“We've calculated that we
can operate a SkyBus service
profitably by reducing our
costs with a do-it-yourself,
no frills flight utilizing the
large and cfficient 417-seat
Bocing 747.”

“We will serve the total
market,” he continued. “Our
normal, first and economy
service still will be available
on other flights but the no-
fuss SkyBus will be cx-
clusively for travellers who
want a fast, comfortable,
non-stop flight from A to B.”

SkyBus is dedicated to one
price for all seats. All will
get the same product at an
attractive price because the
no-frills service and high
load factor Icads to lower
costs.

$79.50. Initially there will be
weekly non-stop service

_between. Toronto and the

three Western Cities. It is

expected that SkyBus will be

expanded as demand grows.

Passengers may check one
piece of luggage free and
normal carry-on bags will be
permitted. Extra luggage
will be carried. at regular
excess baggage charges. The
“back-pack set”. will have no
difficulty checking their
gear.

Catching SkyBus will be as
easy as the name imples —
travellers simply go to the
airport, buy. a_ distinctive
ticket and follow’ the
“SkyBus Stop” signs to the
aircraft where they will walk
on and fly across the con-
tinent,

However, one way or
return tickets may be
purchased in advance at any
CP Air ticket office or
airport counter. There will
be no telephone reservations
but purchase of the ticket
ensures a seat on the
designated flight since the
ficket itself serves as a
boarding pass in the sim-
plified system devised for
SkyBus.

A flight will teave Toronto
at 10:30 p.m. every Friday
for Edmonton and every
Saturday for Calgary.
Eastbound the Edmonton-
Toronto SkyBus will leave at
2:05 a.m. on Saturday, the
Calgary-Toronto flight” at
2:05 a.m. Sunday.

The castbound SkyBus to
Toronto will leave Van-

cotiver at 1:15 p.m... on
Thursday and the Toronto-

Vancouver flight will leave’

Toronto at 10 p.m. each
Monday.

Once ticketed a change of
SkyBus flight date can be
made only in advance of
original departure date by
paying a $20 service charge.
There will be no refunds on
unused tickets (just like the
theater) but cancellation
insurance is available.

Travel agents will share in
the innovative SkyBus. They
may collect their normal
commissions by issuing
clients with SkyBus vouchers
which the client then ex-
changes at a CP Air ticket
counter for the actual ticket-
boarding pass. Travel agents
will be issued with an initial
stock of vouchers and may
request additional forms as
needed from their nearest
CP Air ticket office.
