Jetlines has not announced a start date, but Suarez underscored that plans to get airline flying in 2019 remain on track. "I am delighted to see that this strategy is paying off and we welcome Jetlines with enthusiasm." “Bringing a low-cost option to Québec City was one of our top priority for the future and one of the reasons why we’ve expanded our terminal," says YQB President and CEO Gaëtan Gagne. Jetlines would be the first of the true Canadian low-cost operators. Air Canada's Rouge leisure brand serves it, as does WestJet's regional Connect brand and Air Transat. A new terminal in 2017 doubled its capacity.ĭespite the expansion, the airport has not attracted a true low-cost carrier. The airport has been growing steadily, averaging a healthy 7.2 percent compound annual growth rate in the last 15 years, and handled 1.8 million passengers in 2019. "We're going to give people in Quebec City the kind of capacity they want, and they deserve." "It's a very promising market," Jetlines CEO Javier Suarez told Routes delegates. Jetlines leveraged the Routes Americas 2019 conference to unveil Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) as part of its route network, the airport and airline jointly announced today (13 February 2019).
