Hello guys!

I have been doing some spotting at YYZ lately, I have noticed there is a new Canadian carrier called "MYTRAVEL." So far I know they have 2 A330-200 as I saw them depart 30 mins a part of each other. Are they based in Toronto? Where do they fly? Do they only have the 2 A330s? I must say, there livery is a little boring, it would be nice to add some logo on the tail.

MyTravel is just doing summer charters to YYZ, last year Airtours (which is now part of MyTravel) were doing the Europe to YYZ routes.

PS I think the A330's are just in the "transitional" livery from the former Airtours plane.

The former Airtours livery looked much slicker, IMO.

Not a bad looking livery on My Travel, even though it looks a lot like the Tickets.com logo.
