Canada Jetlines scales back take-off plans

Canada Jetlines will begin operations with 4 planes next year instead of 6 as originally planned and has scaled back plans to start flying out of 2 airports in Southern Ontario. The planned June 1, 2018, launch is on schedule, but flights will begin initially from Hamilton only and not Waterloo, Ont., CE Stan Gadek said. Canada Jetlines is one of two ULCCs scheduled to take to the skies in 2018. The other is Swoop, which will be operated by WestJet Airlines. Both airlines believe there is demand for a carrier that will offer rock-bottom fares mainly to leisure travellers who can't or won't pay full fares but might be willing to pay fees for baggage, meals and the ability to change flights. Gadek said the arrival of Swoop at around the same time Canada Jetlines launches might be good for the carrier. <br/>
