Worldways Canada Lockheed L-1011 Tristar

            Worldways Canada was established as a charter airline in 1973, to cash in on the growing popularity of transatlantic charters, as well as those to the Caribbean in the cold winter months.  Initially, the airline started off with second-hand and ancient Douglas DC-4s, but quickly upgraded to DC-8s and Boeing 707s.  

Worldways came along at just the right time, and quickly was able to expand to serve destinations worldwide, fulfilling its name.  It got a reputation for being somewhat unorthodox, but enjoyable.  Most of its fleet was leased.

When the charter market nearly collapsed due to the First Gulf War in 1990, Worldways was one of the victims.  It was grounded that year, and despite attempts to restart operations, closed for good a year later.  

C-GIFE was originally ordered by PSA in 1974, but only spent two years with the airline before returning to Lockheed.  It spent most of its career being leased out (Worldways operated it from 1985 to 1990).  It was withdrawn from service in 1993 and scrapped in 1998.  This shows Worldways' second and last livery, used in the 1980s.
