The new "ultra-low cost" airline that will start flying out of Hamilton Airport in February (2016) gives a much-needed boost to the airport's efforts to increase passenger traffic.
And with two other airlines talking about including Hamilton in their plans to launch similar discount services, airport leaders are hoping it all signals the change in the marketplace it needs to capture even more traffic.
NewLeaf will fly to Halifax, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna and Abbotsford, B.C. to start, with flights starting at $89. It will offer flights from Hamilton to all but Abbottsford, starting Feb. 12. The cheapest Hamilton flight is $99.
NewLeaf also plans to expand to other cities, including American possibilities such as Arizona and Las Vegas.
Introductory rates will range from $89 to $149, tax included, for a no-frills ticket. NewLeaf will keep rates low by using several cost-cutting measures, Dacko said, including doing its own online bookings through its website.
