Canada Jetlines takes delivery of first aircraft
Canada Jetlines, which promised to launch a low-cost airline for years, has taken delivery of its first aircraft, an 11-year-old Airbus A320. The Vancouver-based company, which has gone through numerous top management changes since coming onto the scene in 2015, says the aircraft has been leased from Jackson Square Aviation and it plans to launch operations in spring 2022. “This is a milestone day for our team as we get to witness the inception of our branded fleet, with the delivery of our first aircraft,” says Brad Warren, Jetlines’ vice-president of maintenance operations, on 27 December. Earlier this month, Jetlines’ CE Eddy Doyle said the coronavirus pandemic had created “a rare opportunity” to launch a new airline. While fixed costs have remained stable, aircraft are much cheaper than they were prior to the global health crisis.<br/>
