From YYZ News:

Sunwing Travel Group plans to launch its own charter airline this winter after winning approval from the CTA to sell advance tickets. Stephen Hunter, Sunwing's CEO said he and his father, Colin aim to start with one plane initially by November and add another two or three aircraft in 2006. The new leisure airline, based in Toronto, will carry travellers booking holidays with family-owned Sunwing Vacations.

They should operate F16Bs...I'd be the first to purchase a ticket!! It would also solve the Hijack issue!

I am only unsure regarding airport using, was a SkyCircus telling they will use YKF or that was a Sunwing? I guess YKF will have smallest airport fee's and long runway for this.
