The inaugural flight of Elite Airways to Halifax, previously scheduled to depart Portland International Jetport Friday at 10 a.m., was postponed at the last minute due to a computer breakdown with the reservation system. The flight start date has been delayed two weeks, until July 13, said an Elite Airways spokesperson.
The 80-minute flight aboard the 50-person aircraft was to take passengers and media over to Nova Scotia’s capital and return on Sunday. Elite plans to fly between the two cities twice a week, with an extension service to Florida.
