GREYHOUND PROMOTION A SOARING SUCCESS
By Adnews Staff
Greyhound Canada Transportation Corp. says a recent special encouraging Winnipeg residents to fly with Greyhound Air has been a resounding success. In a press release, Greyhound executive vice-president John Munro says that based on reaction to the Winnipeg promotion, the company will consider offering similar deals in other Canadian cities in the near future. The Winnipeg deal, which began on Nov.7, offered fares as low as $98 return for anyone flying from Winnipeg to another Greyhound Air destination. Travellers had to book their flights between Nov.7 and midnight Nov. 11 to take advantage of the offer. They also had to pay for the flight when booking it. The deal applied only to flights leaving Winnipeg on a Wednesday or Thursday and returning on a following Wednesday or Thursday. All travel under the offer had to be completed by Dec. 11. Munro could not be reached to comment on the specifics of the promotion's success. Palmer Jarvis Communications of Vancouver handled advertising for the promotion.
