Charles McKee Leaves Canada Jetlines

Charles McKee

Charles McKee has been a consultant to Canada Jetlines since June of last year, when he was brought in to take on the role of CCO.

The industry veteran led the commercial team during the company's expansion on destinations and fleet and also oversaw the launch of Jetlines Vacations.

"My advisory firm, Markey International, was asked by Jetlines CEO Eddy Doyle to assist the leadership team with an executive transition last summer. During the last 9 months, I’ve had the pleasure of leading the commercial team through the expansion of new destinations and flee, deeper cooperation with travel partners, and the market launch of Jetines Vacations," McKee said in an email sent to Open Jaw.

"While my professional services contract comes to an end, I will stay close to Eddy and the team as they continue execute on the growth plans and vision to provide Canadians with an alternative high-quality leisure carrier."

Before joining Jetlines, McKee was SVP of Commercial Products for Sabre Corp. He also has worked at such prestigious companies as Radisson, Air Canada, Delta Hotels and Malaysia Airlines.
