Chromeo Flies High In The Friendly Skies With Canadian Airline Share Acquisition

Chromeo marks their first major leap into business ownership (outside of their musical careers of course) with a newly penned partnership with the Canadian airline Air Mallard. The partnership lands them as both major equity holders and spokespersons for the newcomer airline, which already has a Midwestern and Canadian presence, with boutique service to Beirut, Montreal and -- naturally -- Minneapolis per the group's request. Dave 1 explains:

"When Mallard approached us about share acquisition, we thought it was a joke, but when we got to know the people behind the airline, a creative and dynamic group of engineers and venture capitalists, this partnership made total sense. Besides, our business managers always encouraged us to diversify our investments. For a band like us, this feels bold and new."

P-Thugg adds :

"We spend our life on airplanes, and there's always something wrong: from the uniforms to the business class menu, to the way they handle oversize baggage. Our association with Mallard will give us the opportunity to change that and to offer a travel experience the way we see it."

It seems the partnership is more than just an attempt to to get some free flyer miles, rather, that the group has a vested interest in improving the quality of travel across the board.
