History
Established in 2001 Air Canada Jazz was formed from the consolidation of the Air Canada connector carriers Air BC, Air Nova, Air Ontario and Canadian Regional Airlines shortly after the successful takeover of Canadian Airlines by Air Canada. It is wholly owned by ACE Aviation Holdings and employs 4,513 staff (as of April 2007)[1]. The airline successfully launched an Initial public offering (IPO) in February 2006 - units of the income trust trade as JAZ.UN. In February 2006 Air Canada announced that City Centre Aviation Limited (CCAL) had served a 30-day termination notice for Jazz's month-to-month lease of terminal space at Toronto City Centre Airport.[2] The Toronto Port Authority itself does not control any significant terminal space at the airport, but it extended permission for Jazz to continue using the airport; however, since the airline could not find terminal space, they canceled service to the airport at the end of February 2006. CCAL is owned by REGCO Holdings, are also the owners of the new Porter Airlines which launched service from the airport to Ottawa (the former Air Canada Jazz route) in fall 2006.
