Time Air of Canada was a regional airline founded in 1966, which was taken over by Canadian Airlines in 1991 and merged with Ontario Express to form Canadian Regional Airlines in July 1998 (ICAO code: TAF; IATA code: KI).

Time Air of Canada was founded in 1966 by Walter "Stubb" Ross. Originally " Lethbridge Air Service ", later in Time Airways Ltd. renamed. Time Air was the first aircraft to operate the Beechcraft 18 . Time Air was originally based at Lethbridge Airport. When Air Canada gave up their Lethbridge to Calgary and Edmonton routes in the early 1970s, Time Air took over the route. In addition, aircraft of the type de Havilland Canada DHC-6 "Twin Otter" were floated, which were replaced by Short 330 over the next 20 years . Time Air of Canada was the first airline to use the Short 330. The Fokker F 27 “Friendship” has also been added to the fleet over the years. The successor to the Short 330, the Short 360 was also operated by Time Air, as was the de Havilland Canada DHC-7 . The De Havilland DHC-8-300 was ordered as a supplement to the DHC-7 . The Short 360 flew short domestic routes, e.g. B. the route Vancouver – Victoria. Time Air took over Southern Frontier Airlines and Norcanair as part of its expansion . Due to the takeover of other airlines, Airplanes of the types Convair CV-580 and Convair CV-640 flew for Time Air for a short time. The only jet used was the Fokker F 28 Fellowship . Because of the success of the F28 connections, Time Air ordered additional copies of this aircraft type. Canadian Airlines acquired a minority stake in the 1980s and took over Time Air entirely in 1991. In April 1993, Time Air of Canada and Ontario Express became part of Canadian Regional Airlines , a holding company for regional connections from Canadian Airlines, but retained their independence. From now on, Time Air operated codeshare as a regional airline with Canadian Airlines. In July 1998, Time Air of Canada and Ontario Express merged to form Canadian Regional Airlines and thus lost their independent branding. Canadian Regional Airlines became part of Air Canada Jazz in 2001 after Air Canada took over Canadian Airlines.

Destinations

Time Air of Canada flew two international routes to the USA: From Vancouver to Seattle-Tacoma with the DHC-7 and DHC-8; Regina-Minneapolis / St.Paul with the Fokker F 28.
