Zip was a Canadian low-cost airline based at Hangar 101 at Calgary International Airport in Calgary . It was founded by Air Canada as a no-frills subsidiary in September 2002 and operated a fleet of 12 Boeing 737s , painted in neon colors ( blue , fuchsia , green and orange ) with a single class of carriage. The company was founded by former WestJet - CEO out Steve Smith.

As a rival to Canada's leading low-cost airline WestJet, Zip operated primarily between western cities such as Abbotsford , Calgary , Edmonton , Vancouver , Saskatoon , Regina and Winnipeg .

Zip ceased operations in September 2004 when Air Canada established a planned route network in western Canada.

founding

Zip advertised with three distinctive words. Among them were "yuk", which was written on the spit bag, "bag" was written on the personal luggage and "yum" was written on the napkins that were distributed during the flight. Big billboard advertising was done in many cities, with the simple word "fly" and including the website, 4321zip.com. Today, as with other subsidiaries, the website is redirected to the current Air Canada website.
