Jazz Aviation LP, commonly shortened to Jazz, is a Canadian regional airline based at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, in Enfield, Halifax, Nova Scotia,[7] and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chorus Aviation.
On November 15, 2010, the airline was restructured and changed its name to Chorus Aviation, became a public corporation, and traded as "CHR" at the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In August 2008, Jazz Aviation removed all life jackets from its aircraft to lower fuel costs.
[11] In April 2010, Jazz Aviation LP had reached an agreement with Thomas Cook Group to operate a fleet of at least six Boeing 757-200 aircraft during the winter 2010 / 2011 season.
The aircraft, which were leased from British operator Thomas Cook Airlines, were used on flights to destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America.
[13] Sunquest charter service to sun destinations operated by Jazz Aviation, doing business as Thomas Cook Canada, began on November 5, 2010.
PLUNA said on July 6, 2012, that it was "suspending all flights indefinitely" and announced that 720 of the 900 staff would be sent on unemployment pay until a new associate for the company is found or the airline is definitively sold.
Originally, the order had been for 30 CRJ705s and 15 CRJ200s but was changed to 15 and 15, subsequently, 15 Embraer 175 aircraft were added to the Air Canada mainline fleet.
Along with the extension of the CPA, 14 additional CRJ900 aircraft would be acquired, the first five of which would be sourced by Air Canada from SkyWest Airlines.
There are 12 leather covered seats, each equipped with a 120 V power outlet and personal audio/video on demand featuring Air Canada's enRoute ҽ inflight entertainment system by Thales.
In May 2024, Jazz and Expliseat announced that it will be retrofitting 25 Dash 8-400s with TiSeat 2V seats, replacing the NextGen interior.
