After all the fiasco with Canada Air Charter, I have a really quick question.
What are the rules on foreign ownership in Canada?
I believe AA had a stake in Canadian and the Airtours Group in SkyService?
Any help?

Max. 25% foreign ownership allowed for Canadian airline companies.
The Canada Air Charter fiasco is all home grown. First, selling tickets with no licence, no AOC, no AMO, no Airplanes, then after selling somewhat 4000 tickets, still no ACMI partner, to cheap to use Canadian Operators, eg Skyservice, Transat or Columbus. Well, now CAC is bankrupt....
Of course, some of the established Canadian charter operators have lift, but CAC was playing games to get a foreign ACMI partner, eg trying to find an airplane 3 hours before a proposed flight and calling it "nobody in Canada available to do it". Good that the Canadian authorities didn't go for the fraud ....
Or selling to many tickets for a flight, leasing a 727 and 400 passengers are showing up at the airport .......
I don't know how many passengers are left stranded, but it seems quiet a few, guess who is paying for all this mess ........

Really ... just 25% images/icons/confused.gif
So ... I wonder what the MyTravel/SkyService share is?
