Play Airlines' departure from Canada highlights the challenges faced by low-cost carriers in the region, with the market becoming increasingly competitive and less sustainable for such airlines.
Richard Vanderlubbe, founder of Tripcentral.ca, noted that Play's updated schedule confirms their exit from Canada, underscoring the tough environment for discount airlines.
The decision to pull out follows other moves in the industry, including Lynx Air's recent filing for creditor protection and WestJet's merger of Swoop with its main operations.
Despite these developments, Play Airlines has not communicated the reasons for its exit or how it will handle existing customer bookings, leaving many in the dark.
