. The airline was started in 1986. On May 2, 2005, Skyservice introduced the first of two
Boeing 767-300 aircraft to its fleet, the first of which entered service on that date with a flight from
Toronto to
Puerto Vallarta. The aircraft (both formerly with
MyTravel Airways) operated summer charters from Toronto to the United Kingdom and Europe for Sunquest Vacations, and in the winter flew from
Vancouver to the
Caribbean and Mexico. It was one of the few discount airlines operating in Canada which still offered full meal service. On August 28, 2007, it was announced that Skyservice had sold a majority interest in its airlines business to Vancouver-based private equity company Gibralt Capital Corp. No changes in senior management, operations or staffing levels were planned. In March 2009, Skyservice partnered with Inflite Media to offer tray table advertising across its fleet of aircraft, the first such advertising network available in Canada. Skyservice was forced into receivership on March 31, 2010, as a result of an $8.8 million debt to its long-term partner Sunquest Vacations. The last Skyservice flight, from
Punta Cana to
Winnipeg, took place on the same day. The private charter portion of the airline continues to operate today under Skyservice Business Aviation with fixed base operations in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary. ==Fleet==
