The Winnipeg-based low-cost air travel company NewLeaf officially started flying out of Calgary Saturday.
The first flight, with airline partner Flair, took off to Hamilton at 2 p.m. from YYC Calgary International Airport.
They’re offering 44 flights to and from Calgary over a three-week holiday period as a testing ground in the domestic market.
The airline says it will offer prices as low as $49 one-way (taxes and fees included) during their “no holiday blackout travel sale” to places such as Abbotsford, Hamilton and Moncton.
In mid-January, NewLeaf will also start flights going to Mesa-Phoenix until the end of April.
The spring and summer schedule will be announced in early January and the airline said they “hope to have Calgary permanently on the schedule.”
