There are several "low-cost" airlines operating regular services between the UK and Canada; i.e. Canada 3000, Air Transat and Royal (recently bought by C3K). I'm pretty sure that Canada 3000 can no longer be considered to be a "charter" carrier but I'm not sure about Air Transat's status. Both sell tickets direct to the public over the web.

Between them they use a mixture of A330s, L1011s, and A310s on their transatlantic routes. I think they even used to use 757s on some routes, don't know if they still do though. However, interestingly none use the aircraft that has been the dominant type for point-to-point transatlantic operations with the big scheduled airlines; the 767.

Anyone got any idea why?
