Canada Jetlines, Ltd. or simply Jetlines, is a Canadian ultra low-cost airline headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Jetlines aims to meet the market demand in Canada for low-fare jet travel.[2]
Jetlines seeks to fly routes unserved or underserved by other airlines, such as Vancouver to Prince Rupert.[3] Jetlines plans to partially follow the model of European low-cost carriers Ryanair and easyJet by potentially operating from smaller airports like Abbotsford International Airport when possible.[4]
The airline expects to receive its air operator's certificate approximately 5-6 months after being fully funded and to operate Boeing 737 aircraft. It plans to purchase or lease up to 16 Boeing 737s, in addition to the five Boeing 737 MAX 7s (plus 16 options) ordered in December 2014.[5]
It plans to establish the hub in Vancouver, then expands its hubs eastward to Winnipeg and Hamilton.[6]
Destinations
On February 8, 2015, Canada Jetlines released an anticipated route network based on 16 aircraft.[7]
