Jazz Aviation (Halifax) announced on April 13, 2012 that it had received notification from Thomas Cook Canada Inc. of its intention to discontinue operating dedicated charter aircraft, branded as Thomas Cook Canada, due to market conditions. As a consequence, the remaining three years of the five-year flight services agreement with Jazz will be terminated effective April 30, 2012.

In 2010, Jazz signed a five-year flight services agreement with Thomas Cook to operate a dedicated charter fleet of six Boeing 757-200 aircraft to various sun destinations from Canadian gateways during the winter season.

Operations commenced on November 5, 2010 from Toronto (Pearson) to Montego Bay, Jamaica and Cancun, Mexico.

Jazz will continue to operate the Thomas Cook Canada flights, as scheduled, for the remainder of the winter 2011-2012 program and proceed with the normal seasonal wind down of this operation by April 28, 2012.
