Summary

Island Airways announced a $61 adult round-trip fare promotion for August 31 through September 5, 2006, with cookouts and raffle drawings at Charlevoix Municipal Airport and Welke Airport.

Evidence limits

This is a first-party promotion. It establishes the announced fare and events, not ticket sales, attendance, or the airline’s complete service history.

Sources

  1. The airline announced $61 adult round-trip tickets from August 31 through September 5, limited to one round trip per person, plus September 1 and September 4 cookouts and raffles at Charlevoix Municipal and Welke Airports. The operator later stated that McPhillips Flying Service dated to 1945 and merged with Welke Aviation in the mid-1980s; the earlier newspaper record is stronger for the merger chronology.
