History
The airline was a brief experiment by clothier Roots Canada outside of its core business. The new discount airline was created in 2000 and service began in March 2001, but was suspended in May 2001 when Air Canada acquired a 30% equity interest and 50% voting stake in Roots Air operator Skyservice. All flights involving Roots Air were transferred to Air Canada.
Services
Roots Air served the Canadian cities of Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. Service to Los Angeles was cancelled prior to Roots Air's launch. International connections were facilitated by partnerships with other airlines.

gollark: It would be astrapi child vs mageia child, in the rare case in which you got a biome-from-non-xeno-parent egg.
gollark: Er, the nebula parent.
gollark: So if you were, for whatever reason, breeding nebulae with xenowyrms, then I think the biome of the parent would matter.
gollark: ``` Q: What are the mechanics of xenowyrm breeding?A: A pair with a xeno parent can breed: an egg of a non-xeno parent, a xeno like one of the xeno parent/s, a xeno based off the biome of a non-xeno parent (ie a volcanic parent can produce a pyro xenowyrm), or a random xenowyrm (when purebreeding or breeding to a dragon without a specific biome location, ie its biome is listed as "cave"). ```
