So it would be very difficult to choose right aircraft for Canadian North after retirement of existing fleet. <br /> <br />What aircarfts would be suitable for Canadian North? CRJ? B717? <br /> <br />Canadian North was sold to Air NorTerra Inc after the purchase of Canadian by competitor Air Canada. It just has its logo and website (www.cdn-north.com) changed today (7 Sep 2002), thus removing the only ex-Canadian remant. Its IATA code was changed from CP to 5T. Oh poor it is! We can't remember the good old Canadian days!
