Indeed, I saw examples:
- BC Tel had a Citation IIRC, on a milk run around the province, would head out at 7am northbound with spare parts and pax, dropping off and picking up northbound, getting back to YVR in early evening. Pax were typically specialists, even accounting people.
- BC Hydro did similar around BC out of YVR, using an MU-2.
- GTE Northwest operated a turboprop out of PAE, similar activity.
- I read that Generous Motors operated turboprops such as CV580 carrying priority parts and people among its plants in the US Midwest and Ontario-Quebec.
- I read that WasMart had a fleet of various aircraft to visit stores, had few people in head office in Bentonville, most typical HQ functions were performed by people in stores.
Turboprops typically being more useful because utility operations and WasMart stores were often in small towns or settlements. (Which for a utility might be not much more than people working at a power plant or substation. BC Hydro of course has the huge power dam at Hudson’s Hope. Most of BC is mountainous so pressurization is very desirable.)
