$92 for a carry-on bag is an excellent way to ensure you will never be more than a very small airline.

Their route map is very limited, but I wish them well. Canada really needs an airline like this.

For years Canada has had great international fares and lousy domestic ones. This and other budget airlines on the horizon should do a great deal to help Canadians travel within their own country too

Good news for New Leaf. The authorities have given the company permission to start selling its discounted flights in Canada. More on this update at this link .

NewLeaf is grounded, at least temporarily, as the Canadian is reviewing it's license. Will issue refunds for tickets already sold. Read more at this link: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...a-reaction-1.3409694

Since the Canadian Transportation Agency has been looking into this issue of whether Indirect Service Providers should be required to hold a license, I'm surprised NewLeaf Travel didn't hold off before on selling tickets until this issue was settled https://www.otc-cta.gc.ca/eng/...ement-hold-a-licence

I can remember this story so many times from the past 50 years - here in the UK. A new air service provider comes along with hopes of knocking the stuffing out of the "Big Boys". Then, always at the last minute - the most costly time - somebody throws a spanner in the works. Hoping to break the back - or bank - of the new kid on the block.. Dirty tricks again. And it wont be the last. And you never find out who started the fight. http://www.independent.co.uk/n...s-dirty-1478010.html

I agree with Garry. The timing of this is very suspicious.

NewLeaf is a 'virtual airline,' but there's nothing virtual about their bag fees and their determination to load and unload planes fast.

Ultra budget fares coming to Canada in February.
