London Drugs takes brand skyward

Article Abstract:

London Air Services (LAS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of London Drugs, has purchased a Bombardier Challenger 604 wide-body corporate jet. LAS will use the jet for charter flights out of Vancouver International Airport. Wynne Powell, COO of London Drugs, said the company is taking a big gamble but is very much serious in making it in the charter aircraft business. LAS started from a side business that Long Drugs started when it bought a Learjet and leased unused plane time to companies.
