🛫 NORTHWAY AIRLINES LAUNCHES OPERATIONS IN CANADA WITH A220-300 FLEET

Toronto, ON — 2026

Northway Airlines, a new Canadian airline startup, today announced the official launch of its commercial operations from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). Founded with a modern and efficiency-driven vision, the company aims to connect Canada’s key domestic markets with reliable service, high frequency, and optimized costs.

The airline begins operations with a fleet of Airbus A220-300 aircraft, one of the most advanced narrowbody aircraft in service today, specifically designed for short- and medium-haul routes. The A220 offers outstanding fuel efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced passenger comfort — making it ideally suited for the Canadian domestic market.🧭 A STARTUP BUILT FOR THE CANADIAN MARKET

Northway Airlines was founded by a group of aviation professionals and Canadian investors with a clear objective: to build a lean, data-driven airline focused on doing the basics exceptionally well.

“The A220-300 perfectly represents who we are as a company — modern, efficient, and right-sized for the markets we serve,” said the airline’s executive team.

Rather than pursuing rapid or aggressive expansion, Northway is focused on sustainable growth, strong operational discipline, and long-term profitability.

✈️ MODERN, STANDARDIZED FLEET

From day one, Northway Airlines operates a single-type fleet based on the Airbus A220-300, allowing the airline to:

Reduce maintenance and training costs

Increase scheduling flexibility

Improve aircraft utilization

Achieve a lower cost per seat on domestic routes

Aircraft are configured in a high-efficiency, single-class layout during the initial phase of operations.

🏙️ TORONTO SELECTED AS INAUGURAL HUB

Toronto (YYZ) was selected as Northway’s initial hub due to its position as Canada’s largest business, population, and connectivity center. From Toronto, the airline launches service to key domestic destinations, including:

Montreal (YUL)

Calgary (YYC)

Vancouver (YVR)

These routes provide a strong revenue foundation and national visibility during the airline’s launch phase.
