Destinations in 1970
According to the October 25, 1970 Time Airways system timetable, the airline was operating scheduled passenger service to only five destinations, all located in the province of Alberta:
Calgary, Lethbridge, Edmonton, Medicine Hat, Red Deer
By early 1976, Time Air had expanded service to one additional destination in Alberta, being Grande Prairie, while continuing to serve the other five destinations listed above.
Its fleet was composed of two turboprop aircraft types at this time: the Fokker F27 Friendship and the STOL capable de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter. The airline was also serving close-in Edmonton Industrial Airport (YXD), which was later renamed Edmonton City Centre Airport (closed) instead of Edmonton International Airport (YEG) and was competing with Pacific Western Airlines on the Calgary-Edmonton route.Time Air continued to compete on this route and by the spring of 1981 was operating the STOL capable de Havilland Canada DHC-7 Dash 7 on all of its flights between Calgary and Edmonton.
Destinations in 1988
As of October 30, 1988 Time Air system route map, the airline was operating scheduled passenger service to the following destinations in Canada and the United States:
Alberta
British Columbia
Yukon Territory
United States of America
Time Air was operating two international routes to the U.S. at this time: Vancouver-Seattle and Regina-Minneapolis/St. Paul. Service to Seattle was operated with de Havilland Dash 7 and de Havilland Dash 8 propjet aircraft with multiple flights a day while service to Minneapolis/St. Paul was flown daily with a Fokker F28 twin jet. The only other international route flown by Time Air was nonstop service between Lethbridge and Great Falls, Montana which was operated earlier in 1988; however, by October 1988, the airline had ceased all service on this route.
