    OWG, standing for Off We Go, is a Canadian virtual airline and division of charter airline Nolinor Aviation. It operates flights to leisure destinations from Montréal Trudeau and Toronto Pearson airports.

    History[edit]

    On July 6, 2020, Nolinor Aviation announced OWG as its new airline.[2] The airline planned to operate a fleet of Boeing 737-400 aircraft in an all-economy configuration of 158 seats,[3] targeting leisure travel to southern destinations.[4][5] On July 13, 2020, OWG announced that it would partner with Canadian travel operator Hola Sun Holidays to operate dedicated flights to Cuba on behalf of the company.[6][7] Its inaugural flight to Cuba departed on December 18, 2020,[8] having originally been planned for August 31, 2020,[4] while the airline operated charter flights within Canada for an interim period beginning on October 18, 2020.[9]

    The company ceased its flights to the Caribbean in 2021 at the request of the Canadian government, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] The company planned to restart flights in late 2021 using one Boeing 737-800 aircraft,[10] although the 737-800 did not enter service until 2022.[citation needed]
