Flight Delays

Karen and I are sitting/waiting at the airport in Toronto after visiting our daughter Joanna - pre Christmas.

The weather forcasters are calling the winter storm today, "snow-megaddon". Well, temps just below freezing and a few inches of snow doesn't really constitute an emergency where we live, but when you share it with a few million people, I guess things become more interesting.

What I am finding out is that I'd rather wait in Ignace for weather to improve than wait at Toronto Airport.
In aviation, safety is of primary importance and we do our best to stay safe. Sometimes we have to wait for weather too.

My experience with the big airlines is that you are just another "bum in the seat". At Ignace Outposts and Airways, you are a valued guest who is treated like a friend. When was the last tme you were delayed at an airport and were able to sit with the airline president and pilots talking fishing?

Walleye, northern, lake trout, bass... Yes summer is coming soon. If you are thinking about these things, give us a call or send an email. We'd love to visit us this summer.
