CanJet Shuts Down

Sep 6th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

But news for Canadian travelers: your flights may get a bit more expensive. Discount carrier CanJet shut down yesterday with no warning, stranding passengers across the country. The airline cited the usual high fuel costs blah blah blah as the reasons for its shutdown. Canjet held about 5% of domestic market share.
