Canada's Jetlines has been granted slots at Vancouver International Airport (YVR).
The slots will permit Jetlines to operate up to 10 flights per day and over 1,000 flights during the winter season from December 17 to March 28, 2020.
The initial two Airbus A320 aircraft that Jetlines has secured through its partnership with SmartLynx will be parked at YVR airport nightly.
Jetlines CEO Javier Suarez commented: “I am excited to share that all slots to operate our winter schedule have been awarded. It is significant for Jetlines as we work to commence operations out of Vancouver International Airport.
"The Airport operates at a very high capacity in the winter season, as travellers plan trips to see family and friends, or to go on a vacation. These slots will allow us to fly our first passengers for these special occasions at incredibly low fares – at a price point that most Canadians have not had the opportunity to fly at.”
