Intair was a Canada-based airline that operated between 1989 and 1991.

History

Intair operated passenger jet service between Toronto^[1] and Montreal^[2] with Fokker 100 aircraft as well as scheduled jet and turboprop passenger service to other destinations in eastern Canada and also charter flights between Canada and such vacation destinations as Orlando and Ft.Lauderdale in Florida. According to the Official Airline Guide (OAG), in late 1989 Intair was operating up to twelve nonstop flights a day between Montreal Dorval Airport (YUL) and Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) primarily with the Fokker 100 twin jet and was also operating F100 jet service nonstop between Montreal and Quebec City, Rouyn-Noranda, Saguenay and Val-d'Or in Quebec province, and nonstop between Montreal and Moncton in New Brunswick province as well.^[3]

The airline began operations after Nordair was purchased by Canadian Pacific Airlines. Intair used Nordair's IATA two letter "ND" airline code. The airline was established in 1989 by City Express as a successor to Skycraft Air Transport^{[citation needed]}. It served many destinations in Quebec province formerly served by Quebecair and also flew to destinations in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario provinces of Canada.
