NewLeaf
NewLeaf Travel Company Inc., branded as NewLeaf, was a Canadian virtual airline, or ticket reseller, based at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport in Manitoba. It sold tickets for flights operated by Flair Airlines. In June 2017 Flair Airlines bought the company, with plans to expand its service. The NewLeaf brand was retired on July 25, 2017 when the scheduled flights were brought under the Flair Airlines brand. History NewLeaf was founded in April 2015 and originally described as an ultra low-cost carrier. As a result of the CTA case, the company was later positioned instead as a reseller, buying airline seats and then reselling them to the public. Jim Young, a former executive of Frontier Airlines and Canada Jetlines, proposed the venture. Young announced the airline will fly to secondary airports in Canada in order to save on landing fees; it will also offer vacation packages, after experimenting with selling spring ski packages to the Okanagan. ...

Virtual Airline (economics)
In economics, a virtual airline is an airline that has outsourced as many possible operational and business functions as it can, but still maintains effective control of its core business. Such an airline focuses on operating a network of air services, and outsourcing non-core activities to other organizations. Contracting out services within the aviation industry has reportedly become so common that many carriers could be classed as having features of a virtual airline, although it is arguable whether any current carriers meet a strict definition of the term. The term is often used to describe travel companies and ticket agencies that market themselves as airlines, but do not possess an air operator's certificate and contract with one or more certificated operators to fly and maintain aircraft, often under an air charter arrangement. Although operated by others from a regulatory standpoint, the aircraft may display the virtual airline's aircraft livery, livery, and may be owned or ...
