Roots Air Postponing YYZ-LAX flight

Hi Everyone,

I just got an email from Roots Air, which announced that it will postpone its LAX-YYZ due to the lack of suitable gates and lounges.

But on the bright side, they are considering redeploying those aircraft for YYZ YEG.

Presumably they would have (or should have) had these things sorted out before they announced the route in the first place[?]

My father bought Roots Air tickets LAX-YYZ for this summer, since they cost several hundred $ less than the majors. How are they handling the ticketed passengers - are they issuing new tickets on other airlines, or are they just giving refunds?

A passenger can always get a refund if the carrier ceases to operate.

It will be interesting to see if they agree to endorse--the AC fares are higher, and Roots will lose cash on each and everyone. But as an investment in PR, it's probably worth it.
