RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:More evidence of Atlantic problems. Canada 3000 bought Royal Airlines in January 2001 for 84 million. In March of 2001 C3 bought 7.5 million of Canjet Stock.

Sept 10 , 2001 we actually had record bookings for the company.
Sept 11, 2001 the terrorists stuck. North American airspace closed for a week.
