  Airlines Remembered
Wardair was founded by Maxwell Ward in 1946 as Polaris Charter Co. and he started out with a DeHavilland DH.83C Fox Moth; he flew support flights for mineworkers from Yellowknife to the inhospitable far north of Canada.
Wardair operated its charters from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Ottawa, Saskatoon and Toronto.
During the 1980s Wardair ran into problems; a reorganisation was needed and it was decided that the Airbus A310-300 would become the standard aircraft of the fleet (1987).

 Passenger Airlines - Wardair Expands
Wardair needed licenses to fly anywhere in Canada, and when applications were made to the Air Transport Board they were often denied, in the same way that Canadian Pacific’s Airlines’ applications were turned down, since the main focus under regulation was to protect the air routes of Trans Canada Airlines.
The policy was based on a belief that it was important that Canada maintain a strong national carrier so that air transport in the nation would not be taken over by American carriers.
Wardair purchased large aircraft in the 1970s and the 1980s, and won international awards for its service.

 "Air Canada's Proposed Take-over of Canadian Airlines; Unadvisable"
The effect on any given route depends on a number of factors such as overall demand on the route, aircraft load factors, availability of different sizes of aircraft, and the importance of the route in 'feeding' the airline's other flights.
In fact, the reduction was roughly equal to Wardair's total domestic lift in 1988.
As in the Canadian Airlines take-over of Wardair, the buyer is not interested in the 'feed' the acquired carrier can provide to its routes.
