On
2 May 2005 Skyservice introduced the first of two
Boeing 767-300 aircraft to its fleet, the first of which entered service on that date with a flight from
Toronto to
Puerto Vallarta . The aircraft (both formerly with
MyTravel Airways ) would be used for operating summer charters from Toronto to the
UK and
Europe for Sunquest Tours, and in the winter would fly from
Vancouver to the
Caribbean and
Mexico (ref:Air International, July 2005). It is one of the only discount airlines operating in Canada which still offers full meal services.
One of Skyservice's 767s was involved in a landing incident in 2005. The co-pilot, while landing in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, experienced a hard landing which resulted in injured passengers and damage to the aircraft. The aircraft was repaired in Punta Cana and is back into service with
MyTravel Airways . Sources speculate that the co-pilot's failure to perform a "go-around", which involves aborting the landing and restarting the approach, may have been a factor in the accident.
