KAMLOOPS — Canada’s newest commercial airline, NewLeaf, flew out of Kamloops for the first time today. 

The plane arrived from Edmonton this morning, July 30, and after a short delay due to unscheduled maintenance, passengers boarded the aircraft bound for Victoria. 

NewLeaf representatives were at the Kamloops airport to celebrate the inaugural flight. 

CEO Jim Young says NewLeaf has a simple business plan, which focuses on providing the lowest airfares for people seeking a short getaway.
