Canada’s leisure-focused air carrier is growing its fleet of Airbus320 jets and just announced the arrival of its first aircraft in the country.
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. (NEO: CJET, Forum) announced this week that its first aircraft, an Airbus 320 registered under C-GCJL, landed at the Kitchener/Waterloo airport (CYKF) at 14:33 ET on Saturday February 26, 2022. The aircraft was flown from Shannon, Ireland where it recently underwent painting and interior refurbishing. The flight was operated by Captain Randy Howe (Canada Jetlines’ Chief Pilot) and Captain Colin Forrest, both pilots having recently completed their Canada Jetlines’ A320 pilot training and simulator check ride monitored by Transport Canada.
Speaking on this news for investors and media alike, Canada Jetlines’ CEO, Eddy Doyle touted that the aircraft livery and interior represent the
“new, fun, and exciting Canada Jetlines.”
“This is an important milestone for our airline as we continue on the path to obtain our Air Operator Certificate from Transport Canada. We are looking forward to operating our first revenue flights and welcoming our first guests following the receipt of regulatory approvals.”
