Pronto Airways is introducing a new aircraft today which will be use to transport passengers to a number of northern destinations.
The plane seats 44 and is purported to be the largest passenger aircraft being used in northern Saskatchewan.
Pronto spokesperson Ed Jozic says the Friday flights are an introduction to the new service and are in high demand.
“Starting in Saskatoon and Prince Albert — and then up through Wollaston, Stony Rapids, Fond du Lac, and Uranium City — we’ve had such an outpouring of support. Our passenger loads have exceeded the ability to carry all those passengers, so we’ve had to add an additional flight.”
Jozic says the new aircraft also feature a stand-up cabin, a lavatory and a flight attendant.
