VANCOUVER, February 17, 2016 - Jet Metal Corp. (TSX VENTURE: JET) (OTCQB: JETMF) (the "Company" or "Jet Metal") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") with Canada Jetlines Ltd. ("Jetlines") with respect to a business combination of Jetlines and Jet Metal (the "Transaction"). Jetlines is a start-up airline aiming to become Canada's first ultra-low cost carrier ("ULCC").

"With this transaction Jetlines will have the working capital to move forward in earnest and we expect to be announcing a number of major developments in a timely manner," says Jim Scott President and CEO of Canada Jetlines.

Jetlines is a federally registered Canadian corporation in the pre-revenue stage with its head office located in Richmond, British Columbia. Jetlines plans to operate scheduled point-to-point all jet air service nationally with primary bases at the Vancouver International Airport and the Hamilton International Airport, with a secondary base at the Winnipeg International Airport ("YWG"). Jetlines plans to operate flights throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Jetlines will use the proven commercial aviation ULCC profitability model to attract new passengers with low airfares and plans to retain these passengers by demonstrating a passion for service. The proven ULCC model provides the capability for specifically designed airlines to reduce their costs in a manner that provides scheduled airline service at base airfares averaging 40% below their nearest competitor thus creating new passenger demand by market stimulation. The worldwide success of other ULCC airlines such as Allegiant Air and Spirit Airlines in the United Sates, Air Asia in Asia, and Ryanair and EasyJet in Europe demonstrates the power of these ULCC airlines to attract and significantly stimulate passenger traffic and lead the markets they operate in while generating strong returns for shareholders.
