October 2006
At Canadian North we are
constantly looking for opportunities
to listen to our customers.
Whether it’s “town hall” meetings,
in-flight surveys or customer
comments, we know it is
essential to complete the circle
of communication between our
customers and Canadian North.
Armed with your feedback, we
have identified three key areas
that you consider significant
when choosing an airline; competitive pricing, superior flight
operations and customer service.At Canadian North we have made every effort to ensure we are
well positioned to provide competitive fares to every market we
serve and we maintain the lowest everyday low fare.
We also know operational excellence is of primary importance to
all of us. A well maintained aircraft combined with schedule
frequency and reliability are integral components of our
operational environment.
Superior customer service and customer responsiveness are also
major factors in why our customers choose Canadian North.
That’s why we are constantly striving to improve our product while
maintaining our top-notch Aurora Class service. This standard
class of service includes a hot towel, complimentary meal and
beverage service. For our most frequent flyers we have expanded
the benefits of our Aurora Concierge program by adding even
more perks. We also recently revamped our reservation call
centre to include agents with extensive airline experience.
I think it is important that we always communicate frankly with
you. This past summer our on-time performance was not optimal.
The primary driver of this was the result of integrating different
schedule parameters into a very busy summer travel season. The
timing of these schedule changes created some delays; especially
on the Mackenzie Valley flights.
We have worked hard to optimize our new improved fall schedule
to minimize on-time performance issues on a go forward basis.
We look forward to exceeding your expectations as we move into
the future.
Happy Thanksgiving and as always thanks for flying with
Canadian North.
