The airline was started in 1986. On May 2, 2005 Sky-Service introduced the first of two Boeing 767-300 aircraft to its fleet, the first of which entered service on that date with a flight from Toronto to Puerto Vallarta. The aircraft (both formerly with MyTravel Airways) operated summer charters from Toronto to the UK and Europe for Sunquest Tours, and in the winter flew from Vancouver to the Caribbean and Mexico. ^[2] It is one of the few discount airlines operating in Canada which still offers full meal service.

On August 28, 2007, it was announces that Skyservice sold a majority interest in its airlines business to a Vancouver-based private equity company, Gibralt Capital Corp. Its business jet charter and air ambulance services were not included in the sale to Gibralt. No changes in senior management, operations or staffing levels are planned.
