- I was hired on when Onec Logistics Kitamaat LP won the bid to operate the charter program for LNGC (Fluor). We started out running 5 flight per week (1 per day) and now we operate 18 flights per week. I helped design the flight centre as it now appears and am involved in the operation of the entire program. We have 13 employees current and adding more. It is always gratifying in the building of a business from scratch as well as fine tuning things as they grow.
