HALIFAX, Canada – CanJet, a Halifax-based charter airline, will be suspending flight operations effective immediately, the company’s president said.

Stephen Rowe, president of CanJet Airlines, says that the company has decided to take a step back to determine if they want to move forward with a different financial plan that may or may not include more planes.

He says the company will continue to run, but will explore business options as they become available.

The airline, a subsidiary of Halifax-based IMP Group International Inc, had a single Boeing 737 left in their charter fleet that will now be managed by Air Transat, according to Rowe.

Several years ago, CanJet began a contract to offer charter flights on behalf of Transat Tours Canada which was not renewed in April 2014.

In May, the company laid off 47 pilots and 68 permanent and seasonal flight attendants.
