Ford utilized a provincial police plane for multiple short-haul flights across southern Ontario as it finalized the purchase of a jet, according to recent schedules. The company’s executive took four domestic flights on the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) aircraft within less than two months. These trips were part of a broader travel plan that included chartering a jet to travel to Texas.
The flights, which were short-haul, suggest a strategic use of available resources before committing to a more expensive long-term transportation solution. The OPP plane, typically used for law enforcement purposes, was repurposed for business travel, highlighting the flexibility of provincial assets.
Sources indicate that the timing of these flights coincided with the final stages of Ford’s decision to acquire a private jet. The use of the OPP plane may have been a cost-effective alternative during the transition period. The exact details of the travel itinerary remain under review by officials. (ca.news.yahoo.com)
