Jetsgo was launched on June 12, 2001 and ceased operations on March 11, 2005. The airline was Canada's third-largest airline at the time, controlling up to 10% of the domestic market.

Expert analysts widely blame the airline's failure on poor management. Founder Michel Leblanc had previously founded Royal Aviation, which he later sold to Canada 3000.

Jetsgo operated a fleet of (14) McDonnell Douglas MD-83 and (11) Fokker 100 (plus six Fokker 100 in storage).

Slogan was "Jetsgo. Pay a little. Fly a lot."
