Pope launches own airlines

The Pope is launching his own airline. The inaugural flight departs this earth later this month, flying from Rome to Lourdes (www.mistralair.it ). Headrests in the cabin will be emblazoned with the airline’s motto – “I’m searching for your face, Lord” – and if the venture proves successful, further departures to destinations such as the shrine of Fatima in Portugal and the shrine of the Madonna of Guadalupe in Mexico are planned.

    The twice-daily service, operated with 37-seat Embraer 135 regional jet

offers 240 daily departures to 80 destinations.  The weekday schedule for the
new flights is as follows:

"The new direct flight to Cleveland links two strong markets. It also means more options, better frequency and even greater opportunities for connections between Ottawa and the mid-western and western U.S.," said Paul Benoit, Ottawa International Airport Authority President and CEO. "We look forward to working with Continental to make this route a success."
