Bearskin Airlines (Sioux Lookout) has announced that effective April 1, it will terminate all scheduled services into and out of Kitchener and Ottawa International. The routes are flown using Metroliners.

Among the routes to Ottawa affected are: Kitchener/Waterloo, North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Sainte Marie, ON, Timmins, Kapuskasing and Thunder Bay.

In a statement to the Canadian press, the airline said that while demand for the routes was high, their cost overheads have continuously eaten away at their profitability leading to their cancellation.
