Worldways Canada was a Canadian charter airline that started in operations in 1973, ceased its operations on 11 October 1990 and went out of business in 1991.^[1] The airline was created by Roy T. Moore^{[citation needed]} with the assistance of Dennis Lewis.^{[citation needed]}

Worldways Canada's fleet of aircraft started with Lockheed L-188 Electras, later adding Douglas DC-4's. The Electras were replaced with Convair 560s.^{[dubious – discuss]} The company later added Convair 640s, which were put on charter serving Canada's East Coast offshore oil industry.

When international passenger charter company Ontario Worldair folded in 1981,^[2] Worldways bought its fleet of three Boeing 707-320 aircraft and entered that segment of the charter market. In 1983, Worldways sold the B707s to the Royal Australian Air Force and bought four Douglas DC-8-63s from CP Air.

In 1985, Worldways added two Lockheed L-1011-385-1s (later upgraded to L-1011-50). These were initially operated by Pacific Southwest Airlines in 1974-75, then sold to AeroPerú. These L-1011s were two of the five built by Lockheed where the front cargo hold was removed and a windowless lower deck lounge was added, complete with seating for 12 additional passengers, stowage space for their carry-on bags, and external air stairs for direct boarding to the lounge from the tarmac.^[3][a] Worldways had winter leases with Eastern Air Lines and British Caledonian, by which Worldways brought in additional L-1011s for the winter charter season. In 1989, Worldways purchased three Boeing 727-100s from TAP Air Portugal.
