Flyglobespan has announced that it will begin weekly flights from Bristol airport to Toronto from May next year.
The connection will open on May 26th, with services leaving Bristol every Monday to land at Toronto’s Hamilton airport.
The regional airline Flyglobespan has had one of its flying licences suspended as a result of serious concerns about its operations.
Several of the Edinburgh-based firm’s services to North America have been affected.
The firm has had its ‘ETOPS’ licence, which lets it fly over large expanses of water with two engines, suspended.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it is the first time in 15 years a UK operator has lost ETOPS approval.

Low-fares airline Flyglobespan has become Dublin Airport’s newest customer after announcing plans to start flights to Calgary and Vancouver from May.
The new long-haul flights are an unexpected boost for the airport, which has suspended its long-haul route incentive scheme indefinitely.
The suspension of that scheme makes Dublin less attractive to most international airlines, but the launch of the Flyglobespan flights was unaffected because their flights only run twice-weekly and flights must run at least three times a week to be included in Dubin’s now defunct scheme.

In a detailed statement, the airline has apologised to all those caught up in the delay of six days in having its flight leave from New York, and say they have every right to criticise the airline.
They say it’s clear the performance of their ground handlers fell well below the standards expected by its passengers, and many of the instructions issued by the company to alleviate the situation seem to have been ignored.
