Canada's newest airline has now got its first aircraft. Canada Jetlines announced Friday it has signed a lease agreement for an Airbus A320, with delivery on time for the company's expected launch in Q2 next year.
“I am pleased that we have a definitive agreement for our first aircraft,” said Canada Jetlines CEO, Eddy Doyle, in a statement.
“The Airbus A320 is a fuel-efficient, narrow-body framework that supports a high-density seat configuration. Canada Jetlines is well positioned to carry out the completion of our airline licensing process with a targeted launch date in Q2 of 2022.”
The aircraft is an Airbus A320-200, equipped with two CFM56-5B4/3 engines. Prior to delivery, the aircraft will be painted with Canada Jetlines livery and include installation of the new Recaro 3530 seats, with in-seat power and personal electronic device holder installed.
The airline will also install the Flymingo Box system, which offers a flexible, aircraft-powered digital suite to enhance passenger experience and provide wireless inflight entertainment options.
Canada Jetlines says its business model involves offering convenient travel options and more destination choices than competitors, as well as more revenue options for Travel Agents and Tour Operators.
Earlier this month, Open Jaw's Nina Slawek spoke at length with Duncan Bureau, CCO of Canada Jetlines, on the Airline’s launch plans.
