History
Operations began in 2010 for the tour operator Sunquest Vacations. The airline operated by leasing 757 aircraft from other airlines within the Thomas Cook Group, primarily from Thomas Cook Airlines UK. Those aircraft in turn were operated by Jazz Air, though still operated under the name Thomas Cook Airlines Canada. Numerous flights operated using Thomas Cook Airlines UK’s IATA, ICAO, and callsign.
The Thomas Cook Group ended up selling Sunquest Vacations to Red Label Vacations in early 2013, thus ending the flight service agreement with Jazz.[1] This effectively led to the airline ceasing all operations.
