NewLeaf, the low-cost air travel company that began flying out of Hamilton's airport last month, announced it will offer flights from Hamilton to and from Abbotsford, B.C. in its new fall schedule for October.

The company will offer one flight per day on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. 

Flights booked through NewLeaf are operated by Flair Airlines, a licensed Canadian company with pilots flying Boeing 737-400 passenger jets.

The company offers flights from Hamilton's John C. Munro International Airport to Edmonton, Halifax, Kelowna, Moncton, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Victoria and Abbotsford. Most of the company's B.C.-bound flights from Hamilton are not direct; they include stops in Winnipeg, Saskatoon or Edmonton.
