Blue Skies: Navigating a turbulent industry

Join us on May 19th for an opportunity to learn from a premier Canadian entrepreneur, Robert Deluce, President and CEO of Porter Airlines. Like pharmaceuticals, the airline industry is wrapped in regulations, long business cycles and huge development costs. Nonetheless, Porter has been able to define a new model of service and now ranks as the country's third largest scheduled carrier. For all of us who struggle with the question, "how can I do things differently", you will not want to miss this dinner!

Robert J. Deluce is one of Canada’s most knowledgeable and respected airline owners and operators. He brings to the industry over 50 years of Deluce family experience in successfully owning, financing, restructuring, operating and managing a number of regional airlines in Canada.

His involvement in the aviation industry includes White River Air Services, norOntair, Austin Airways, Air Creebec, Air Ontario, Air Manitoba, Air Alliance and Canada 3000 Airlines.

He has been President of Deluce Capital Corp. since 1987, and is currently President and CEO of both Porter Aviation Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Porter Airlines Inc.
