CanJet Suspending Scheduled Service Sept 10th

[LGA777]

Big surprise, CanJet is ending scheduled service on Sept 10th and going all Charter. I assume this will be the end of them at LGA ? See article.

Wow that is a huge surprise! I guess they couldn't compete with Westjet and A/C. To bad.

ha ha ha you beat me to it I just posted that at the same time, our offices just got the information at SRQ as well. Big sigh of releif for us. They were the bain of existance in season at SRQ for various reasons.

Yup, this is end of Canjet's daily 735 (and occasional 733 sub) to LGA. Last flight to LGA will be Sun Sep 10th.

All sked services are being canned at midnight Sun Sep 10th. Most flights radiate from their 2 small hubs at YYZ and YHZ each with about 13 daily flights.

They will concentrate on sun charters. Likely reduce to something like 3-5 735's or so.

If nothing else, this will likely hasten WS's return to LGA. No announcements but WS's pullout from LGA was due to inconvenient slots.

WS~Westjet.

Well the last LGA flight departed 13 a little while ago with 733 C-FHGE, which has actually been doing the LGA trips very often as of late, so I guess LGA loads must have been good.

Good luck to all the C6 employees effected by the end of scheduled service and downsize of the company.

Cheers

I'm peeling those magnets off the walls of the check in counter first thing in the morning and I am not sad to get rid of their business.
