About 150 passengers boarded a Boeing 737-400 at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport on Monday, headed for Winnipeg in the inaugural flight from the new low-cost air travel company — NewLeaf. The fact that the first flight to sell out leaves from Hamilton, it says, is strong evidence of this. Dacko said millions of Canadians travel past Hamilton every year in search of cheaper flights in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, N.Y. The discount attracted Lisa Airhart, who took Monday's flight to Winnipeg. "What we decided to do was to take a pause, to put the interests of our customers first," Dacko said.
