Not quite:

"Greyhound Air had lost C$28 million ($19 million) since beginning operations in July 1996, despite achieving good load factors, but is being discontinued as a precondition of the take-over of inter-city bus operator Greyhound by Canadian company Laidlaw. "

Other reports indicate that those load factors while "good" were still well below expectations and the level needed for profitability.
