“West Wind will utilize its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transwest Air, and industry partners to ensure safe, uninterrupted services to its customers until this matter is concluded,” said Dennis Baranieski, the company’s vice-president of business development and customer relations, in the statement.

Baranieski said the investigation’s timeline is uncertain, but added it would likely take a few days.

West Wind was established in 1983 and operates out of numerous bases in Saskatchewan, according to its website.
