Although mainly catering to the Canadian home market other Canadian charter airlines from the past include the likes of Air Club International, Ontario Worldways, Pacific Western Airlines, Québecair.
Gatwick in particular used to see various Canadian carriers on the ground at the same time during the early to mid 1980's.
Crownair used to serve Exeter with DC-8-52's but I'm not sure about Oddesey International ever using the airport with their Boeing 757s. I'm sure someone can confirm whether they did or not.
We where just talking about this in work that BFS seemed at one point to have flights to Canada almost daily across so many carriers. I wonder if its a demographic changes over time rather than anything else is the main driver
