Service Change, and New Plane

As we expand rapidly, we have decided to market the AsiaPacific and Caribbean Premium service as a separate brand instead of surcharged Alert Premium service. Now the service is called Alert GlobalConnect. Ticket price, destinations, and service frequency remain unchanged.

We are also ordering new Bombardier CS100 planes what will replace the Airbus A319 for medium-hual Alert Connect service. The plane is more fuel efficient than the A319 currently used. Expect new destinations, especially in the US and Europe, and improved frequency when the planes are put into service.
