Why should this airline be added?
Jazz Air is the regional operator for Air Canada and between 2001 and 2006, it operated under the Air Canada Jazz brand. Then between 2006 and 2011, it operated under just Jazz but with the aircraft still painted as Air Canada Jazz so no difference there. From 2011, Jazz disappeared back behind the Air Canada livery, still operating the regional flights for the airline but no longer having a unique regional fleet.All 3 livery colour schemes were referred to as Red Jazz, Yellow Jazz and Green Jazz. Would be cool if this was randomised like winglets are on aircraft. This livery lasted until around 2016-2018, can’t work out when, on all of their fleet bar one Dash 8-300 which Jazz kept in their livery for potential charter operations until mid-2021. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYAym9Dkx4A
This would be a good airline to see in-game, especially with the inclusion of a Canadian airport at some point in the future, as it would provide a local ‘airline’ to fly alongside the likes of Westjet, Air Canada and Air Transat within Canada and the Northern USA. Need to add shameless plug for Calgary, I really like this airport YYC - Calgary International Airport 🇨🇦 . It’s been an airline I’ve wanted to do for a while but it looked like a big task, so I’ve had it on the go for a bit and finally got it to a point where I’m happy with it.
