SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Sunquest will discontinue its charter Hawaii
product out of Los Angeles at the end of August and reintroduce it
next April.
A spokeswoman said the company decided it was more
cost-effective to run charters on a seasonal basis.
Sunquest will continue operating 10 charters a week through the
end of August. Clients with bookings beyond August will be
accommodated on other carriers.
Travel agents will continue earning 14% commission on Sunquest
bookings. Sunquest's parent company, North American Leisure Group,
the Toronto-based subsidiary of Airtours, will merge the Sunquest
brand into SunTrips, its other U.S. acquisition, beginning in
2001.
