Headquarters

Toronto, Canada

Skyservice Airlines was a Canadian charter airline that operated leisure and vacation flights primarily for tour operators and travel agencies. Based in Toronto, it served sun destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, and other warm-weather locales popular with Canadian vacationers. The airline operated as a major carrier in the Canadian charter market during the late 1990s and 2000s, competing with other Canadian charter carriers. It was known for providing affordable holiday travel to leisure destinations on behalf of tour companies. Skyservice Airlines ceased passenger flight operations in 2009, a casualty of the difficult economic environment and increased competition in the Canadian leisure travel sector. The company subsequently refocused on aircraft maintenance and related aviation services.
