Airlines Chrono Aviation adds first Boeing 737-200 to its fleet

Chrono Aviation has received its first Boeing 737-200 aircraft. The plane can accommodate 119 passengers and will help the company to meet increasing demand in Canada´s charter branch. The B732 can be used both for passengers and cargo and has the characteristics for take-offs and landings on unpaved strips.

The new aircraft also represents a notable addition to Chrono Aviation´s fleet. Currently, the operator only operates with a Dash 8 and a King Air 350. Vincent Gagnon, President of Chrono Aviation said: “The addition of this first 737-200 to our fleet marks an important step in our company’s growth.”

Chrono´s 737-200 will be an essential asset for the company, as it allows it to offer charter flights to remote areas. The carrier expects that especially mining or construction companies will charter this aircraft.

"The 737 will meet our customers’ increasing demand and enable us to carry up to 119 passengers or 30,500 pounds of cargo,” Gagnon added.

According to Chrono, a second Boeing 737-200 will be added to the fleet in November. The company is reportedly to invest over $12 Million in refurbishing the aircraft. A new coat of paint and a new cabin will be installed as well.

All aircraft in Chrono´s fleet are wearing a matte black livery. Dany Gagnon, Vice-President of Chrono Aviation commented on the livery: “Whether in Québec, Canada or the US, people notice our planes and talk about them.”

Chrono Aviation was founded in Québec City in 2012 and operates air charter flights in Canada. After six years of existence, the company employs 107 people and flies with a fleet of 14 aircraft. Canada´s largest air charter fleet consists of Pilatus PC-12, Beechcraft 1900D, Dash 8, Falcon 50EX, Super King Air 350 and Boeing 737-200 aircraft.
