Canada Jetlines has officially announced August 15 as the date for its first flight to Greater Moncton Romeo LeBlanc International Airport (YQM) from Toronto Pearson.

Moncton is New Brunswick's vibrant transportation hub and one of the country's fastest growing cities. It’s a popular tourist destination due to its central location and easy accessibility to popular tourist sites on the Bay of Fundy and Prince Edward Island.

“Canada Jetlines is excited to offer service on our inaugural day out of our hub in Toronto to the vibrant destination of Moncton, New Brunswick,” said CEO Eddy Doyle.

“We’ve chosen Moncton as our first destination in the Maritime provinces for its attractive offering for tourists and its convenient reach to a large segment of the population of New Brunswick. We’re thankful to the airport and the community for their support in making this flight a reality.”

The carrier is offering launch special fares available for a limited time for flights out of its travel hub at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to domestic destinations Moncton, NB (YQM) and Winnipeg, MB (YWG).

Tickets are being sold pursuant to an exemption from the application of section 59 of the Canada Transportation Act. This exemption allows Canada Jetlines to sell tickets for air travel prior to issuance of its license.
