DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. (the “Company” or “Jetlines”) was amalgamated under the laws of British Columbia pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) effective February 28, 2017. The Company’s principal business activity is the start-up of a Canadian low cost carrier airline that intends to begin operations, pending Canadian Transportation Agency approval, as a Tour Operator with flights into popular sun destinations in the USA, Mexico and the Caribbean. The address of the Company’s registered office is #2400 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 3P3. Until June 28, 2021, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Crossing Airlines Group Inc. (“GlobalX”), whose shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange” or “TSXV”) under the symbol “JET”.
OUTLOOK
The proceeds from the issuance of shares are being used to further the business objectives of the Company in launching an airline in Canada through its pre-operating stage, including making deposit payments for initial aircraft, advancing the domestic licensing process, augmenting the leadership team with operations, financial and commercial personnel, branding and marketing activities, signing of commercial and operational agreements, as well as advancing internet, digital media and information technology systems initiatives. Further funding, in the form of debt, equity or other facilities, will be required to take delivery of aircraft, meet domestic licensing financial capability requirements and to complete the build-out of the airline with aircraft, personnel, inventory, training, paying necessary up-front deposits, finalizing sales and administrative systems and other launch activities, as well as for general and administrative expenditures and working capital.
The process to start a new airline commences with the Canadian Transportation Agency (the “Agency”), which acting on behalf of the Canadian Government, is an independent, quasi-judicial tribunal and regulator with the powers of a superior court. As a regulator, the Agency makes determinations and issues authorities, licenses and permits to transportation carriers under federal jurisdiction. There are four criteria that must be satisfied to achieve a domestic 705 license:
- Jetlines is a Canadian company or is exempted from that requirement under section 62 of the CTA;
2
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. Management Discussion & Analysis For the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2021 Date Prepared: November 10, 2021
-
Jetlines holds a Canadian aviation document (Air Operator Certificate issued by Transport Canada) that is valid in respect of the air service to be provided under the license;
-
Jetlines has the liability insurance coverage required by section 7 of the CTA in respect of the air service to be provided under the license and has complied with section 8 of the CTA; and
-
Where Jetlines is required to meet the financial requirements set out in section 8.1 of the CTA, Jetlines meets those requirements.
The application to acquire a domestic service, large aircraft license includes establishing an agreed value for the work, deposits and reserves required to complete the pre-revenue build-out and the first 90 days of operations.
The Company has retained a team of experienced subject matter experts in order to complete the Transport Canada Air Operator Certificate process. Pending funding to the approval of the Agency, the completion of the Transport Canada Air Operator Certificate (“AOC”) and being properly insured, the Company will receive its airline license to operate as an airline in Canada. The Company can make a request to the Agency to sell airline tickets prior to the licensing process being completed. The pre-selling of airline tickets combined with full operational funding could allow first operational flight to occur forthwith the completion of the licensing process.
The Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary Canada Jetlines Vacations Ltd. (“Jetlines Vacations”), with the purpose to act as a tour operator and travel agency. Jetlines Vacations will sell Package Vacations products like, hotel stays, car rental, and other travel related products and services. In addition, Jetlines Vacations will support the airline and will build a network of resellers and holiday partnerships to offer for sale.
Upon receipt of its license to operate in Canada and once otherwise eligible, Jetlines intends to apply for a foreign air carrier permit or an exemption therefrom from the U.S. Department of Transportation (the "U.S. Department") in order to allow Jetlines to fly into destinations in the United States. Jetlines also intends to concurrently apply for similar approvals from the regulatory authorities in Mexico and certain Caribbean countries. Provided such licenses, permits or exemptions are received, Jetlines expects to grow its business significantly by increasing its route network in Canada and to selected locations in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Jetlines expects to commence operations with one aircraft and to lease further aircraft.
SPIN-OUT TRANSACTION
On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restatement Agreement with GlobalX to complete a plan of arrangement under the CBCA (the “Plan of Arrangement”), which was finalized on June 28, 2021. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the Company subdivided its issued and outstanding voting shares on a 1 to 2.1877 basis (the “Share Split”) and distributed 25,052,359 voting shares to GlobalX shareholders, with the remaining 8,350,786 voting shares being retained by GlobalX. Upon completion of the Plan of Arrangement, the Company had 11,070,675 common voting shares and 22,332,470 variable voting shares issued and outstanding. All share and per share information within this MD&A reflect the Share Split.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT
On August 6, 2021, the Company closed its non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”). Due to investor demand, the Company increased the size of the Offering from $5,000,000 and closed on final gross proceeds of $6,599,065. The Offering consisted of 16,497,662 units issued at $0.40 per unit (each a “Unit”). Each Unit consists of, depending on residency of the subscriber, one common voting share or one variable voting share and one half of one warrant (each whole warrant a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase an additional share for $0.70 for a period of 24 months after closing. Subscribers who are Canadian received common voting shares and subscribers who are not Canadian received variable voting shares. The Company also paid $450,131 and issued 1,125,328 Warrants to finders as part of a finder’s fee for certain subscribers who participated in the Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to advance the Canadian airline licensing process and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Historical quarterly results of operations and loss per share data do not necessarily reflect any recurring expenditure patterns or predictable trends. The significant loss in the quarter ended December 31, 2019 primarily relates to impairment of assets as a result of termination of an aircraft lease agreement and suspension of the Company’s operations. Subsequently, the Company went into care and maintenance mode and resumed start-up activities in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and continuing to increase operational activity into the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Company expects its expenditures to continue at an increased level as it ramps up airline start-up activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at September 30, 2021, the Company had cash in the amount of $5,209,535 (December 31, 2020 – $3,170) and working capital in the amount of $5,443,629 (December 31, 2020 – $(336,804)). The increase in working capital in the amount of $5,780,433 is explained by cash received from the Offering.
At present, the Company has no current operating income or cash flows. The Company believes that with the proceeds of the Offering, it has sufficient cash to complete the next steps in the airline licensing process but it will require additional funding prior to the launch of airline operations. To date, the Company’s operations have been almost entirely financed from equity financings. The Company will continue to identify financing opportunities in order to provide additional financial flexibility. While the Company has been successful raising the necessary funds in the past, there can be no assurance it can do so in the future.
The Company’s cash are held in in highly liquid accounts. No amounts have been or are invested in asset-backed commercial paper.
Cash Flows
The Company’s cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are summarized in the table below.

GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future. The Company is evaluating financing its future requirements through a combination of debt, equity and/or other facilities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favorable terms.
As at September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $5,443,629 and accumulated deficit of $4,958,352. At present, the Company has no current operating income or cash flows. Without additional financing, the Company will be unable to fund general and administrative expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the virus known as COVID-19. The expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there have been significant wide-spread stock market declines and the movement of people and goods has become restricted, affecting the supply, demand and pricing for many products and services. The airline industry has been impacted significantly as many local and regional governments have issued public health orders and travel restrictions in response to COVID-19. As the Company has no material operating income or cash flows, it is reliant on additional financing to fund ongoing operations. An extended disruption may affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing. The impact of these factors on the Company is not yet determinable; however the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected. See also “Risk Factors”.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the accompanying condensed interim financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The accompanying condensed interim financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed
11
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. Management Discussion & Analysis For the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2021 Date Prepared: November 10, 2021
interim financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical Judgments
Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments.
Going Concern
The preparation of the accompanying condensed interim financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding the going concern of the Company, as discussed in Note 1 of the condensed interim financial statements.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to the following:
Valuation of restricted share units
The value of the restricted share units was based on the fair value of the of the Company’s shares on the date of grant. The determination of the fair value of the Company’s shares involved significant estimate as the Company’s shares were not publicly traded on the date the restricted shares units were granted.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in Note 3 to the accompanying condensed interim financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 and financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, as detailed below.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and receivables. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with major financial institutions. The Company has no investments in asset-backed commercial paper. The Company’s receivables consist mainly of Goods and Services Tax receivable due from the Government of Canada. As a result, the Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Company manages liquidity risk through its capital management. See “Outlook”, “Going Concern” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further details.
Market Risk
12
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. Management Discussion & Analysis For the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2021 Date Prepared: November 10, 2021
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Company does not have any variable interest-bearing debt.
(b) Currency risk
At present, the Company’s expenditures are predominantly in Canadian dollars. Future equity raised may be in either Canadian or US dollars. At this time, the Company does not have any currency hedges in place for fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the US dollar.
RISK FACTORS
The development and ultimate operation of a Canadian charter airline involves significant risks and uncertainties, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. Certain of the more prominent risk factors that may materially affect the Company’s future performance, in addition to those referred to above, are listed hereunder. Reference should also be made to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form.
Ability to Obtain Additional Capital
The ability of the Company to execute its build-out strategy and achieve operations will depend on acquiring substantial additional financing through debt financing, equity financing, a strategic corporate transaction or other means. There are no assurances that such financing will be available, or if available, available upon terms acceptable to the Company. Failure to obtain such financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of such growth strategy or even impact the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to the Company. If additional financing is raised by the Company through the issuance of securities from treasury, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer dilution. If additional financing is not available, or if available, not available on satisfactory terms, this could result in a material adverse effect or could require the Company to reduce, delay, scale back or eliminate portions of its actual or proposed operations at the applicable time or could prevent the Company from continuing as a going concern. In such circumstance, purchasers could lose their entire investment in the Company.
A Localized Epidemic or Global Pandemic
A widespread outbreak of influenza or any other similarly communicable illness, occurring in the United States or Canada, or a World Health Organization travel advisory primarily relating to North American cities or regions could affect the Company’s ability to continue full operations and could materially adversely affect customer demand for air travel. The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions which may adversely impact our business and results of operations and the operations of our suppliers, contractors and service providers, and the demand for our passenger charter flights.
As a result of COVID-19, the global air transportation and tourism industry has faced a collapse in traffic and demand. Travel restrictions, uncertainty about when borders will reopen fully, the imposition of quarantine measures and vaccination and testing requirements both in Canada and other countries, as well as concerns related to the pandemic and its economic impacts have been creating significant demand uncertainty. While progress on vaccination and the lifting of certain restrictions have resulted in improved demand for air travel and tourism, the Corporation cannot
13
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. Management Discussion & Analysis For the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2021 Date Prepared: November 10, 2021
predict when demand will return to the pre-pandemic level. A continued reduction in demand for air travel and tourism may have a significant adverse impact on our workforce, production levels, and our ability to launch charter operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on global supply chain. This could impact our supply chain for products we require to operate, including spare parts and consumables used for aircraft operations. We could also see significant disruptions of the operations of our logistics, service providers, delays in shipments and negative impacts to pricing of certain of our products.
The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. The Company is not currently operating charter flights and as such the current COVID-19 pandemic does not have an impact on current operations, but it may have a material adverse effect on future operations.
Moreover, COVID-19 could negatively impact stock markets, including the trading price of our shares, could adversely impact our ability to raise capital, could cause continued interest rate volatility and movements that could make obtaining financing more challenging or more expensive. Any of these developments, and others, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Accuracy of Business Model
The accuracy of the Company’s business model and the Company’s ability to implement its business model is dependent on a number of inputs and assumptions, including:
-
the timing and receipt of all regulatory approvals required or desirable for operations by the Company and their impact upon expectations as to future operations of the Company;
-
the expected operations and performance of the Company’s business as compared to the existing operators;
-
the anticipated competitive response from existing operators as well as potential new market entrants which may compete with the Company;
-
impact of governmental regulation on the Company;
-
future development and growth prospects;
-
expected operating costs, general administrative costs, costs of services and other costs and expenses;
-
the anticipated increase in the size of the airline passenger market in Canada;
-
ability to meet current and future obligations;
-
treatment under governmental regulatory regimes;
-
projections of market prices and costs;
-
ability to obtain equipment, services and supplies in a timely manner, including the ability to lease or purchase aircraft; and
-
ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all.
Should one or more of these inputs and assumptions not be correct or fail to occur as anticipated then there is a risk that the Company's business model may not be implemented as anticipated and the Company may suffer a material adverse effect.
Lack of Operational History
The Company in the build-out stage of the airline and as a result, investors are unable to review and consider any operational history to evaluate future viability or profitability. The Company will be subject to the risks, difficulties and uncertainties associated with a start-up airline. The Company’s future performance will depend upon a number of factors, including its ability to: maintain the safety and security of operations; capitalize on its business strategy; implement its growth strategy; provide the intended products and services at the prices anticipated; maintain adequate control of expenses; attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; react to customer and market demands; and ability to generate operating revenue.
14
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. Management Discussion & Analysis For the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2021 Date Prepared: November 10, 2021
Regulatory Approvals Required
In order to commence airline operations in Canada, Jetlines must obtain its domestic 705 license (“Airline License”) from the CTA and an Air Operator Certificate from Transport Canada. In order to obtain its Airline License and Air Operator Certificate, Jetlines must satisfy all the requirements of the CTA and Transport Canada, respectively. In order to meet these requirements, the Company will need to raise additional financing. There is no guarantee that the Company will raise sufficient financing and accordingly there is no guarantee that the Company will receive an Airline License or an Air Operator Certificate in accordance with its business plan. In addition, Jetlines intends to apply for a foreign air carrier permit or an exemption therefrom from the U.S. Department of Transportation (the "U.S. Department") in order to allow Jetlines to fly into destinations in the United States. Jetlines also intends to concurrently apply for similar approvals from the regulatory authorities in Mexico and certain Caribbean countries. There is no guarantee that the Company will receive these permits to fly to foreign destinations which would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business plan.
Access to Aircraft and Capital Requirements
In order to operate in accordance with its business plan, the Company will need to acquire or lease aircraft. It is intended that the Company will enter into leasing arrangements for several aircraft initially and additional aircraft subsequently. While the Company does not anticipate any difficulties in entering into satisfactory leasing arrangements, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to enter into leases for aircraft on terms satisfactory to it, or at all. The terms of the Company's leasing arrangements will impact upon the potential profitability of the Company's business. In the event that the Company is unable to acquire or lease aircraft on satisfactory terms, the Company will be unable to operate in accordance with its business plan. The Company's ability to pay any fixed costs associated with aircraft lease or purchase contractual obligations will depend on the Company's operating performance, cash flow, its ability to secure adequate financing, whether fuel prices continue at current price levels and/or further increase or decrease, further weakening or improving in the Canadian economy, as well as general economic and political conditions and other factors that are, to some extent, beyond the Company's control.
Price and Availability of Fuel
The Company will be dependent on fuel to operate its business, and therefore, will be exposed to the risk of volatile fuel prices. Fuel prices are impacted by a host of factors outside of the Company's control, such as significant weather events, market speculation, geopolitical tensions, refinery capacity, government taxes and levies, and global demand and supply. The Company's fuel costs are expected to make up one of the largest anticipated expenses of the Company. A significant change in the price of fuel would materially affect the Company's projected operating results and growth strategy. A fuel supply shortage or significantly higher fuel prices could result in a curtailment of the Company's planned scheduled service. There can be no assurance that increases in the price of fuel can be off-set by fuel surcharges.
The Company does not plan to implement a fuel hedging program, although it may do so in the future. There can be no assurance that any fuel hedging program implemented by the Company will be sufficient to protect it against increases in the price of fuel due to inadequate fuel supplies or otherwise. Hedging programs also have inherent risks, including counterparty failure risk, which may deprive the Company of the benefit of "in the money" hedges and the financial exposure to post security for "out of the money" hedges.
The Company may be a party to litigation in the normal course of business or otherwise, which could affect its financial position and liquidity
From time to time, the Company is a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and government inspections or investigations and other legal matters, both inside and outside Canada, arising in the ordinary course of our business or otherwise. The Company may become involved in legal proceedings in the future. Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within our control. Litigation is subject to significant uncertainty and may be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to our operations. Although the Company will vigorously defend ourselves in such legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on us are uncertain. For these and other reasons, the Company may choose to settle legal proceedings and claims, regardless of
15
Canada Jetlines Operations Ltd. Management Discussion & Analysis For the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2021 Date Prepared: November 10, 2021
their actual merit. If a legal proceeding is resolved against the Company, it could result in significant compensatory damages, and in certain circumstances punitive or trebled damages, disgorgement of revenue or profits, remedial corporate measures or injunctive relief imposed on us. If our existing insurance does not cover the amount or types of damages awarded, or if other resolution or actions taken as a result of the legal proceeding were to restrain the Company’s ability to operate or market our services, our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In addition, legal proceedings, and any adverse resolution thereof, can result in adverse publicity and damage to the Company’s reputation, which could adversely impact its business.
General economic conditions may adversely affect the Company's growth, future profitability, ability to finance and operations
Global financial conditions continue to be characterized as volatile. In recent years, global markets have been adversely impacted by various credit crises and significant fluctuations in metals prices and fuel and energy costs. Many industries have been impacted by these market conditions. Global financial conditions remain subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to future events. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. Future crises may be precipitated by any number of causes, including natural disasters, geopolitical instability, changes to energy prices or sovereign defaults. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, it may result in a material adverse effect on investor confidence and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect our business and the market price of our securities. Global economic conditions are also affected by COVID-19 which is discussed above under the heading “A Localized Epidemic or Global Pandemic.”
The Company has a history of losses and expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future
The Company has incurred losses since its inception and expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future. The Company expects to continue to incur losses unless and until such time as airline operations commence and generate sufficient revenues to fund continuing operations. The development of the Company’s airline operations will require the commitment of substantial financial resources. The amount and timing of expenditures will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of the licensing process, the results of consultant analysis and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, and the execution of agreements with strategic partners and service providers. Some of these factors are beyond the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever launch airline operations or achieve profitability.
The Company’s securities are subject to price volatility
In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not been necessarily related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that fluctuations in the Company’s share price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for our common shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success in creating revenues, cash flows or earnings. The value of the Company’s common shares will be affected by such volatility.
Failure to attract and retain executive officers and other key personnel could materially adversely affect our financial performance
Our success depends upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain a highly trained and engaged workforce, including key executives, pilots, flight attendants, maintenance staff, human resources, financial and administrative personnel. In addition, currently turnover rates are relatively high, and there is an ongoing need to recruit and train employees. Factors that affect our ability to maintain sufficient numbers of qualified employees include employee morale, our reputation, unemployment rates, competition from other employers and our ability to offer appropriate compensation packages. Our inability to recruit a sufficient number of qualified individuals or our failure to retain key executive officers and other employees in the future may have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.
