Elite Airways postpones inaugural flight

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.
