Default It's a sad day for the Maritimes...

It's official, Canjet is stopping all sked service as of September 10th, 2006. The airline is apparently going to continue operating as a charter service. The airline will refund all tickets purchesed for flights after the above date.

Airline management says the stoppage was due to high fuel prices and the inability to compete with the high frequency of flights by Air Canada and Westjet in their region. Everyone knows that it was really because Canjet pilots recently joined ALPA and management didn't like that, as well as their aircraft leases were up and they couldn't renew them.

Canjet currently operates 9 735s and 1 733 throughtout Eastern Canada as far west as Calgary, as well as Florida. Canjet employs 580 employees throughout Canada, as well as 110 pilots.
