Domestic Airline Ready to Train Flight Crew Under Provisional Approval
Canada Jetlines Operations announced its newly granted, conditional approval for its flight crew training, given by Transport Canada.
The Canada Jetlines’ Pilot Training program will obtain final approval at a later date, after the regulator is able to review the training conducted under the program and it proves to be satisfactory.
“This is an important milestone in the Air Operator Certificate process with Transport Canada. Our first crew will start their pilot training program this month and are scheduled to have completed simulator training in the later part of February,” shared Eddy Doyle, CEO of Canada Jetlines. “The Airbus 320 is a great aircraft and a pleasure to fly. I haven’t flown a commercial aircraft in the last four years, and I am a little envious of our pilots going on course.”
Doyle is a rare executive, having logged over 11,000 hours of flight experience around the world before moving on to management at Air Canada. In-house pilot training is a boon for the all-domestic airline. Jetlines will operate a fleet of Airbus A320-200s throughout Canada as it looks to build its brand as a low-cost carrier in the market. Eddy Doyle, an ERAU grad, hopes that Jetlines can take advantage of the rapidly rebounding passenger travel market, planning on bringing their fleet to 15 A320s by 2025. The first aircraft delivered reached their hands in late December 2021 from Irish lessor Jackson Square Aviation.
