Canada Jetlines Ltd. will fly under the moniker “Jetlines.” It is being launched by aviation veterans Jim Scott and David Solloway as well as Dix Lawson and has garnered the support of the provincial government in B.C.
Mr. Solloway, who will serve as Jetlines’ chief commercial officer, said the trio believes there is room in the Canadian market for an ultra-low cost carrier and their plans have been met with overwhelming support from potential investors.
The airline will be modeled after successful ultra-low cost carriers like Ireland’s Ryanair, Allegiant carnival cruise ship inspiration Air and Spirit Airlines in the U.S., and Air Asia and Scoot Airlines in Asia, offering no-frills service for lower prices than its competitors.

Mr. Solloway began his career carnival cruise ship inspiration at Canadian Pacific Air Lines before working in the Asian operations of several U.S. carriers. He also filled positions at Oasis Hong Kong Airlines and acted as an advisor for Air China. Jim Scott, Jetlines chief executive, formerly worked carnival cruise ship inspiration at Cathay Pacific.
Jetlines would be based in Vancouver and aim to fly to underserved markets or those without any service. Potential destinations include Prince George, Winnipeg, Kamloops, Prince Rupert, carnival cruise ship inspiration Regina, and Edmonton.
Of course, for any of this to become a reality, the trio will have to get the plan off the ground and garner the support from investors. It also needs to ensure its investors meet the ownership caps in Canada that prevent carnival cruise ship inspiration foreign entities from controlling more than 25% of voting shares in Canadian airlines.
To say the least, launching an airline in Canada is not without its risk. The landscape of Canadian aviation is riddled carnival cruise ship inspiration with the carcasses of several failed low-cost ventures, including JetsGo and Canada 3000.
Ben Cherniavsky, an industry analyst with Raymond James, said the market in Canada is ripe for such a carrier because an airline like WestJet Airlines Ltd. no longer fills the role as it grows and develops into a more mature — and more expensive — airline.
According to the investor briefing, Jetlines plans to offer flights at a significant discount to those currently carnival cruise ship inspiration offered by Air Canada and WestJet to destinations west of Winnipeg. For example, the lowest fare between Vancouver carnival cruise ship inspiration and Prince George currently costs $144 on either carnival cruise ship inspiration Air Canada or WestJet but would cost $72 on Canada Jetlines.
The airline proposes to drive up extra revenue by charging for extra services like checked and carry-on bags, priority boarding, premium coach seats, on-board food and snacks, and in-flight iPads and earphones. It also proposes charging for other less conventional services, including potentially in-flight nanny services.
