Air Canada responds to NewLeaf: Air Canada to launch Hamilton to Montreal service
Meanwhile NewLeaf has more pressing problems:
Quote:The airline’s regional carrier Jazz will provide the non-stop service on 50-seat CRJ planes. It will serve travelers to Montreal and beyond, with schedules timed to meet connections to and from Atlantic Canada and to Europe.
In some cases, Air Canada offers direct service only out of Montreal to cities like Brussels, Belgium, and Casablanca, Morocco, and not from Toronto.
Meanwhile NewLeaf has more pressing problems:
Quote:It ran into trouble over questions whether it needed its own licence. It argued it didn’t need one, as its flying was contracted to Flair Airlines, which has a licence.
NewLeaf Travel has since suspended operations and refunded all customers as it awaits the Canadian Transportation Agency completed ongoing review on this type of service, where companies purchase all seats on the planes and then resell those seats to the public.
A spokesman for the CTA did not have any timeline on when the review, which began last fall, would be completed.
