Great Lakes International, Premier West and Premier North today announced service has begun from Vancouver International Airport.  Paul Herman (Managing Director of Great Lakes International) stated “this is a big day for us here at Great Lakes International and our partners here in Calgary and Vancouver.  We have only begun to tap into the full potential of this division and we fully expect to see a huge return on our investment”.  Premier North will fly an all Boeing fleet for now including the Boeing 737-700 and the Boeing 737-400.  The airline is expecting to place an order with Boeing for additional aircraft including the 737-600 later this year.  Paul urged patience as investors must see a full return on their investment sooner rather than later.

Great Lakes International is a privately held company operating primarily in the passenger airline business.  The company headquarters is located in Cleveland Ohio with offices in Syracuse, Grand Rapids and Phoenix.
