Pacific Western Airlines’ air-bus service between Edmonton and Calgary costs travellers $11 one-way.
The new PWA service offered a minimum of frills for the passengers.
They had to carry their own luggage aboard, buy tickets during the one-hour flight from a ticket agent/cabin attendant, and move quickly through a 10-minute airport check-in time.
PWA flights departed from Edmonton Municipal Airport.
Officials said the reduction in driving time and check-in time for travellers would reduce serious objections to air travel.
Free parking for passengers was also offered at the Municipal Airport.
