By GlobalDataIn 2019, Canada Jetlines selected Vancouver International Airport (YVR) as its primary base.
The decision was based on YVR’s position as the second busiest airport in Canada.
It also received YVR’s guarantee for availability of all slots needed to run the initial network with its first two Airbus A320 aircraft.
In October this year, FAA gave the green light to the airport layout plan for Coleman A Young Municipal Airport (KDET) in Detroit.
