Canada Jetlines says ticket sales will begin "imminently" and it expects to begin operations in the next few weeks.
The news comes after Canada's latest leisure airline entrant successfully completed all demonstration flights for Transport Canada in the process to obtain its Air Operator Certificate (AOC).
On July 5, Canada Jetlines operated a flight from the Region of Waterloo International airport to Greater Moncton Roméo Leblanc International airport and back, to the satisfaction of Transport Canada inspectors.
"We are extremely proud of our operations team for successfully completing this comprehensive program with Transport Canada," said Eddy Doyle, CEO of Canada Jetlines.
"There are only a few administrative items for Transport Canada to complete before issuing the AOC, which is expected to be completed within the next two weeks. As a start-up during the pandemic, we emphasize preparation and collaboration. We are currently staffed and equipped to accommodate and welcome guests to travel with Canada Jetlines."
Canada Jetlines will use Airbus 320 aircraft to travel to leisure destinations within Canada, the U.S., Cuba, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Antigua, Bahamas, and other Caribbean nations. The company's business plan anticipates an expansion to 15 aircraft by 2025.
