“This is a very special day for Canada Jetlines,” said Eddy Doyle, CEO of Canada Jetlines. “I am very proud of the hard work completed by the entire Canada Jetlines team which made this day possible. The amazing aircraft livery and interior represent the new, fun, and exciting Canada Jetlines.

The flight was operated by Captain Randy Howe, Canada Jetlines’ Chief Pilot, and Captain Colin Forrest. Both pilots recently completed the Canada Jetlines’ A320 pilot training and simulator check ride monitored by Transport Canada.
Jetlines will operate a fleet of A320s targeting a start in 2022, subject to Transport Canada approval. The Canadian carrier was created to provide passengers more choice when travel to destinations within the U.S., Caribbean, and Mexico.
