Whyte said Hamilton is the right choice for a low-cost carrier. "We chose Hamilton because ... as a low-cost carrier we try to operate into the regional airports," he said. "Our customer base in the U.S. is sophisticated in that they know it's a lot less hassle to fly out of regional airports.

That's a good base for us and if we have no competition, which we don't at this point, we're probably going to be the flavour of the month."
