Low-cost airline Canada Jetlines is set to takeoff after receiving official approval from Transport Canada to start flying out of Toronto Pearson International Airport this month.
On Thursday, August 18, Canada Jetlines announced that it received its Air Operating Certificate (AOC), which serves as confirmation of their professional capabilities and approved safety regulations required to operate an airline. The airlines will launch flights from Toronto Pearson International airport beginning August 29.
Canada Jetlines Chief Executive Officer Eddy Doyle commented on the most recent development:
“The entire team at Canada Jetlines is thrilled to obtain our AOC after meeting all necessary operation standards and passing all inspections. We thank Transport Canada and greatly appreciate the tireless effort and diligence they undertake to approve new airlines.
“We excitedly look forward to our launch date, meeting the increased demand for convenient, leisure travel in Canada and beyond and to provide more options to explore the world,” Doyle said.
The airline has announced on Twitter that it will officially launch on Aug. 29. Flights available for booking on their website are still limited, with “one-way getaways” to Winnipeg and Moncton costing $170-$180.
