A new airline is set to take flight today from three Canadian airports, offering ultra-low fares out of Kelowna, B.C., Winnipeg, Hamilton and possibly more.
NewLeaf will reveal its flight plans at joint events in the three cities starting at 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday. CBC will livestream a feed of those press events here.
Details on pricing and routes will be announced then, but we know the airline will be partnering with B.C.-based charter airline Flair Airlines for planes, crew and maintenance work.
The air travel industry in Canada is dominated by two companies, WestJet and Air Canada, but is also served by many regional and charter companies that cater to small segments of the market.
Darcy Morgan, chief commercial officer of Calgary-based charter airline Enerjet, says Canada is more than able to handle competition in the industry.
"Canada is not well-served by airlines today, and as much as there's a duopoly of Air Canada and WestJet, Canada lacks the low-cost point to point service pretty much every nation has available," he said in an interview.
"If there's an opening in the market, we believe that's it."
