WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Airports Authority is suing Skyservice Airlines for $451,491 in unpaid bills from the shuttered vacation charter company.
In an effort to collect on that debt the WAA has seized two of Skyservice’s Boeing 757 jets that were present at Winnipeg’s Richardson Airport when the company was placed into receivership late last week.
The money Skyservice owes the WAA is from unpaid landing and terminal fees as well as airport improvement fees that the airlines collected on the airport’s behalf.
Barry Rempel, the CEO of the WAA, said because an airport cannot refuse to allow airlines to use the facilities, it has the right to seize assets when airlines do not pay their bills.
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority is owed $221,038 and it has seized six Skyservice planes that were parked at the Pearson Airport in Toronto.
