MONTREAL — Ufly is targeting business travellers on the Toronto – Montreal corridor with two new roundtrips daily between Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and Montreal Saint-Hubert Longueuil Airport.
Flights will be operated by Pascan Aviation on private nine-seater Pilatus PC 12 planes, equipped with large leather seats. Ticket prices will not fluctuate throughout the year but are fixed and include snacks and beverages and an unlimited number of flights.
What’s the catch? Passengers have to sign up for memberships; Ufly says it has several membership types “to meet every travellers’ corporate budget allowances”, with prices starting at $35 per month. Members benefit from numerous advantages such as online booking at a fixed rate, last-minute boarding and quick and easy access to aircrafts, says Ufly.
An introductory offer gives passengers a one-month free membership. The first flight is scheduled to take off April 10.
“Ufly truly demonstrates a full executive treatment: comfortable, exclusive and luxurious. Thanks to its unprecedented service offering, Ufly members can take advantage of a VIP lounge, a dedicated phone reservation line, a mobile application, and free parking near the priority security checkpoint and check-in, so they no longer have to wait in line at an airport,” says the company.
“With business travellers’ needs in mind, we wanted to create a new and unique transport experience between Toronto and Montreal,” said David Brochu, Guest Experience Manager. “At Ufly, we pride ourselves on offering a top-notch business class service to all Canadian executive flyers by providing them valuable and efficient enhanced options that will save them precious time! Business travel should be about spending time with your clients and not in an airport.”
Ufly also sells tickets between Saint-Hubert airport and Québec City, Val-d’Or and Bagotville. More information is at uflyexec.com.
