Start-up Canada Jetlines plans to offer base fares below C$100, CE says
Start-up airline Canada Jetlines plans to offer base fares below C$100 when it begins selling flights next year. Flights will begin June 1, 2018, from airports in Hamilton, Ont., and Waterloo, Ont., to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Halifax, Canada Jetlines CE Stan Gadek said Monday. After 60 days of operation, the carrier plans to add 2 more planes and expand to markets including St. John's, Las Vegas and Orlando, Fla., he said. By the end of its second year in operation, the airline plans to operate 12 aircraft that will expand its route offerings to other Florida cities and Mexico. The planned June launch will pit the new carrier against the ULCC that WestJet Airlines plans to establish as an airline within an airline. WestJet recently pushed the scheduled launch back to the middle of 2018 from the end of this year. <br/>
