The United States Department of Transportation has granted new leisure airline Canada Jetlines permission - "economic authority" - to fly into the U.S. The ruling is effective immediately and will be replaced by a permanent foreign air carrier permit in due course.
Canada Jetlines now requires only Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approvals before it can start operating to the United States. The carrier expects this process to be completed before the end of the year.
"We are looking forward to expand our international network, as the U.S. is a top market for Canadian travellers” stated Eddy Doyle, President & CEO Canada Jetlines. “With the winter months fast approaching, we know sun destinations will be a priority for leisure travel and we intend to announce our first international destination later this month.”
Travellers can reserve vacation packages with travel agents, who can earn up to 10% commission on all base fares, when contracted directly with Canada Jetlines.
The announcement follows Canada Jetlines’ confirmation of a new route out of its travel hub at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) with direct service to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), starting in DEC. The upcoming Vancouver service will complement the airline's operations of biweekly flights, operating Thursdays and Sundays out of Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC).
