Another month, another record number of hours flown, says Canada Jetlines, which has also announced the addition of its third plane. Following a 265% increase in hours flown in Q2 over the hours flown in Q1, the discount carrier says it set a new record of hours flown in July with 622 block hours flown in the month.

“We are pleased with the success the airline keeps achieving on this key operating metric and, with the addition of our third aircraft in August, we are well positioned to meet the strong demand we have seen in the market,” says Eddy Doyle, CEO of Canada Jetlines.

Doyle added that fall and winter schedules, including new destinations, will be announced soon.
