OWG (Montréal Trudeau) commenced international operations to the Caribbean, its core business, on December 18, 2020.
The virtual carrier, a division of Canadian domestic cargo and passenger specialist Nolinor Aviation (N5, Montréal Trudeau), operated its first international flight on behalf of the Hola Sun Holidays tour operator from Toronto Pearson to Santa Clara de Cuba on Cuba using one of its two active B737-400s, C-GGWX (msn 24804). OWG currently plies the route weekly, according to Flightradar24 ADS-B data.
