Canada Jetlines receives conditional approval to begin pilot training
Canada Jetlines is proud to announce the new all-Canadian carrier has received conditional approval for flight crew (pilot) training from Transport Canada effective immediately. Final approval of Canada Jetlines’ Pilot Training program will be granted once Transport Canada has reviewed the training conducted under the program and it proves to be satisfactory.
“This is an important milestone in the Air Operator Certificate process with Transport Canada. Our first crew will start their pilot training program this month and are scheduled to have completed simulator training in the later part of February,” shared Eddy Doyle, CEO of Canada Jetlines. “The Airbus 320 is a great aircraft and a pleasure to fly. I haven’t flown a commercial aircraft in the last four years, and I am a little envious of our pilots going on course.”
