CanJet Press Conference?
The airline announced a press conference for Wednesday in Halifax. Anyone with some inside information ? End of the line or something positive ?
My definition of cool ? Not trying so hard to be cool.
RE: CanJet Press Conference?
I dont know but they have sent an aircraft to YHM today.
Should be interesting though.

Where will you spend eternity? He,s more real then you think!!!!!
RE: CanJet Press Conference?
I was coming on here to post the same thing. My guess is it will be to announced a deal with a tour operator, but that's just a guess. With WestJet moving into more Transat territory, maybe CanJet is a more interesting partner for Transat....
RE: CanJet Press Conference?
Last year CanJet had the majority of Transat's YOW business, with WS making up the balance. This year C6 has been ditched completely. WS has picked up part of the slack with First Air getting the balance.
Hopefully the announcement involves CanJet acquiring a second aircraft type, like 757s.

Considering they are going charter-only, this seems like an unlikely possibility.

RE: CanJet Press Conference?
Fly_yhz is right. The conference is to announce the renewal of the sunquest deal.
Canada Rocks! From the west coast to the best coast!

"CanJet launches new charter operation"
HALIFAX, Sept. 27 /CNW/ - Kenneth C. Rowe, Chairman & CEO, IMP Group
Limited, stated today that CanJet Airlines' efforts to secure charter business
have been very positive to date. Mr. Rowe confirmed that CanJet has concluded
agreements to provide charter flights this fall and winter from various
Canadian cities to sun destinations such as Cuba, Mexico, the Dominican
Republic, the Bahamas and Jamaica.
"I am delighted to make this announcement today," said Mr. Rowe, "and to
state that in addition to the approximately 70 CanJet employees that over
100 Pilots and Flight Attendants will be re-hired to active duty to operate
the initial six Boeing 737 aircraft which will be deployed for charter
flights." Mr. Rowe went on to say, "I anticipate our personnel numbers will
increase as we secure additional contracts and I believe it is worth noting
that CanJet's initial charter fleet is 50% larger than the original CanJet
fleet we operated on launch day on June 20, 2002."
Mr. Rowe stated that CanJet personnel will focus their energies on
securing charter flying opportunities but he did not rule out a return to
scheduled service. He said, "Moving forward, we may look at providing
scheduled services during peak times on city pairs which have profit potential
but I want to emphasize that our primary focus will be the charter business."
I don't get why they didn't keep their Florida flights, which were probably some of their best performing routes. These could have easily been converted to charters.

RE: CanJet Press Conference?
Sounds like there's a chance their entire 10-strong 737 fleet might remain in service if they can drum up additional business for the remaining 4.
I dumped at the gybe mark in strong winds when I looked up at a Porter Q400 on finals. Can't stop spotting.
RE: CanJet Press Conference?
Possible return to sched services eh? Was the closure a possible attempt to shut down the union?
RE: CanJet Press Conference?
it is very interesting.
I would believe one of three scenarios.
1. They may announce flying for Transat to Florida.
2. They may announce their own flights to Florida.
3. They may have leased all the aircraft.

Some people don't get it. Business is about making MONEY!

They will operate on behalf of Transat and Sunquest from YUL, YQB, YYZ and YHZ. No word on what destinations they'll fly to from each city. Sounds like their fleet will be fully utilized.
