In April 1996, QuikAire Cargo Inc. formed a partnership with SkyLink Group of Companies and rebranded itself as SkyLink Express Inc. The new relationship fostered the next stage of growth for the airline as it acquired courier feeder contracts across Canada. In 1996, SkyLink Express also became the first carrier in Canada to operate Raytheon factory-converted, all-cargo, Beechcraft B1900C aircraft. Today, the airline operates the largest B1900C fleet in Canada〔http://wwwapps2.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/ccarcs/aspscripts/en/quicksearch.asp〕 and 2nd largest in North America.〔http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/AcftRef_Results.aspx?Mfrtxt=&Modeltxt=1900C&PageNo=1〕 In July 2009, SkyLink Express entered into a partnership with Cargojet to combine SkyLink Express operational assets and routes with a Cargojet subsidiary, Prince Edward Air Ltd., to consolidate regional air cargo operations into Cargojet Regional Partnership.〔http://www.aviation.ca/content/view/7620/117/〕〔http://www.payloadasia.com/article/americas-cargojet-skylink-cargojet-regional/4109〕〔http://www.shippingonline.cn/news/newsContent.asp?id=10627〕 In July 2010, SkyLink Express purchased 100% of Cargojet Regional Partnership from Cargojet.〔http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/563811/skylink-expands-regional-air-cargo-operations〕 2013 was a Western expansion year for SkyLink Express as new flight crew / maintenance bases were launched in Vancouver (August 2013) 〔http://www.skylinkexpress.com/news/2013/07/31/bc-success-for-skylink-express〕 and Winnipeg (September 2013).〔http://www.linkedin.com/company/skylink-express-inc-〕 Past and present courier/cargo feeder operations include UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, Altimax, Canada Post, Cargojet, Dynamex, Midland Courier, Purolator and Sameday Worldwide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SkyLink Express」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
