CBC News
Jazz Air LP will operate flights to the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America on behalf of Sunquest Vacations under a new partnership with Thomas Cook Canada Inc., the companies announced Monday.
Sunquest Vacations is Thomas Cook's tour operator.
Jazz will begin serving those destinations on Nov. 1, 2010, in time for the busy winter travel season. As of next January, it will operate a fleet of up to 11 B757 jets from airports across Canada under the name Thomas Cook Airlines.
"Through the combined operational and financial strength of Thomas Cook and Jazz, we will offer Sunquest customers innovative and dependable vacation packages," Michael Friisdahl, CEO of Thomas Cook North America, said in a release.
The announcement comes less than a week after charter airline Skyservice filed for receivership. Sunquest Vacations had used the carrier for many of its destinations.
Jazz currently flies to over 80 destinations in North America on behalf of Air Canada. Thomas Cook operates 93 aircraft around the world.
The agreement is conditional on Jazz Air receiving the required regulatory approvals.
