TORONTO — Discount airfare ticket seller NewLeaf Travel is back in business five months after it abruptly shut down to await a federal regulatory ruling.

Travellers can purchase tickets starting Thursday from the Winnipeg-based startup, with the first flight scheduled for take off on July 25.

The company has also added five more destinations to its service, which now include Halifax, Moncton, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Kelowna, B.C., Kamloops, B.C., Fort St. John, B.C., Abbotsford, B.C. and Victoria.

When it originally launched in January, NewLeaf billed itself as an alternative to airline juggernauts like Air Canada (TSX:AC) and WestJet(TSX:WJA) by offering bargain-priced “no frills” flights. It advertises flights for as low at $79 one-way including all taxes and fees.

But just a week after the company started selling tickets, it hit some turbulence over whether it needed a licence to operate. NewLeaf contended that it did not require a licence because it does not operate airplanes and only resells seats from Kelowna, B.C.-based Flair Airlines.

In late March, the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) ruled in favour of NewLeaf and cleared the runway for the company to resume ticket sales.

“We will absolutely adhere to the CTA’s clarified rules for resellers, and have taken the past few months to review our practices to make sure we are in full compliance,” NewLeaf CEO and president Jim Young said in a statement Thursday.

“We are glad that we took the extra time to plan our re-launch as we wanted to protect consumers and offer them long-term business stability. It

Oakland — On a rainy day, confined to the house, Steve Vreeland was hankering for something to do to pass the time. And that’s when he found his heart’s content.

“My wife went away and it was really crummy weather,” said Vreeland. “We were down in the Outer Banks. I was in a store and I saw a little wooden model kit of a rowboat. And I thought, I’ll buy this and a couple of jars of paint. It was something to do while waiting” for the weather to improve.

Vreeland set about putting together the tiny row boat, paying attention to every detail. By the time he finished, the rain had long since stopped. But his passion for his newfound hobby was only beginning.

In the 30 years since then, Vreeland has graduated from building scale replica models of rowboats to fishing schooners and foot-long frigates. With each build, Vreeland has grown more meticulous, a character trait he began honing as a police officer with the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.

“I pay a lot of attention to detail,” Vreeland said. “Through my career, when it came to forensics, there was so much you had to know. Year by year it kept changing. When you do reconstruction, there’s a lot of geometry and algebra. Figuring out angles of blood splatter. It’s all tedious details that help solve a case. It’s all stuff my whole life. It’s just the way I am.”

The process of crafting a scale model of a ship can take away from

It’s Christmas for the drone community, a day that those who want to fly drones commercially have waited for since 2008: The Federal Aviation Administration finally released its final commercial drone rule, clarifying a space that has been fraught with misinformation, confusion, and frustration.

The regulations, called “Part 107,” are the result of years of work from the FAA and bargaining from businesses that would like to use drones or reasonably believe they might be affected by drones. To say Part 107 was long-awaited would be underselling it: The industry has been begging for these rules, and the intervening years have been complete chaos.

The rules took so long in part because lots of people care very much about how drones will ultimately be used. The FAA’s announcement of Part 107 is 624 pages long, and the first 550 of them are the FAA responding to comments from the 4,600 interested parties who decided to comment on the agency’s initial proposal. There’s expected comments from companies like Google, Amazon, and UPS, who hope to use drones as core parts of their businesses, there’s comments from companies like DJI, who manufactures drones, and then there are comments from cattle ranchers and crop dusting pilots and local police departments and hang-gliding associations—anyone who could possibly be impacted by drones at some point or another.

“A lot of frustration from the last couple years has been attributable to a lack of reasonable rules for a technology people could see was safe and
