Birgir Jónsson, CEO, PLAY, said in a statement: "We're proud to expand PLAY service to Canada with service in Hamilton, offering both Canadian and European travellers a new way to reach iconic destinations. With our reliable and affordable flights, travellers can enjoy their destination rather than overspending on the flight to get there."

The company says that with a PLAY account, travellers can change flights when needed.
