Canada Jetlines connects with travel advisors, showcases winter routes at industry Open House

MISSISSAUGA — More than two dozen destinations are under consideration for future flying, according to the team at Canada Jetlines.

Last night the airline hosted an Open House event at its new location on Airport Road to celebrate the airline’s winter schedule as well as answer questions, familiarize attendees with Canada Jetlines’ routes, and showcase the airline’s hospitality as a key differentiator as Canada Jetlines looks to soar above the competition. Of course, there were prizes too.

“We’re not a low-cost carrier, we’re a leisure carrier, so service quality is pretty high and fares are super affordable,” explained Charlie McKee, Canada Jetlines’ Chief Commercial Officer.

Just last week, Canada Jetlines launched Jetlines Vacations. “We’re understanding and reacting to where the market is going for travellers in general with this product, which is back to leisure market based. The venture into this area is meant to be very travel agent-friendly,” said Julie Rempel, Marketing Director.

The Jetlines Vacations product is launching with packages to Cancun and Montego Bay, with the inaugural flight to MoBay taking place Dec. 9. “We have our eye on a few destinations moving forward,” added Rempel.

Until Dec. 15, any travel agent who books a Jetlines Vacations product through Canada Jetlines will receive a $25 gift card of their choosing. This is in addition to the currently heightened 10% commission, which is available to agents until Jan. 31.

Jetlines also flies to Orlando and Las Vegas.

“We had a really strong summer with Cancun, which gives me encouragement to continue Montego Bay throughout the year. We have a list of 25 destinations that we’re considering for the future that we’re working through methodically to plan the network. When we get the Airbus A321s, which is our eventual plan, we’ll be able to go further afield. I’d like to be the first airline to fly from Toronto to the Canary Islands,” said McKee.

“Momentum has been so positive. There seems to be a desire to have and embrace a new carrier. We’re happy to be another opportunity for travellers and I cannot tell you how many positive comments we’ve received about our customer service experience onboard the flights, which shows our deep commitment to the customer,” said Rempel.
