Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. has received conditional approval for flight crew (pilot) training from Transport Canada effective immediately. Final approval of the new all-Canadian carrier's pilot training program will be granted once Transport Canada has reviewed the training conducted under the program and it proves to be satisfactory.
“This is an important milestone in the Air Operator Certificate process with Transport Canada. Our first crew will start their pilot training program this month and are scheduled to have completed simulator training in the later part of February,” said Eddy Doyle, CEO of Canada Jetlines, in a press release. “The Airbus 320 is a great aircraft and a pleasure to fly. I haven’t flown a commercial aircraft in the last four years, and I am a little envious of our pilots going on course.”
Canada Jetlines is a well-capitalized leisure-focused carrier, utilizing a growing fleet of Airbus 320 aircraft targeting a start in 2022, subject to Transport Canada approval. The carrier was created to provide passengers another choice to travel to their favorite destinations within the U.S., Caribbean and Mexico.
With a projected growth of 15 aircraft by 2025, Canada Jetlines aims to offer the best-in-class operating economics, customer comfort and fly-by-wire technology, providing an elevated guest-centric experience from the first touchpoint. The efficient aircraft design merged with the experience of the all-Canadian management team, allows for accessible flight options without sacrificing quality or convenience.
Canada Jetlines will use a web booking platform, making the turnkey solution available to travel advisors, tour operators, and consumers, with the capability of generating revenue on reservations and ancillary sales. The airline says it aims to provide more revenue opportunities to current and future advisor partners.
