Provincial Airlines (IATA code PB, ICAO SPR) has served Eastern Canada since its founding in August 1974. Originally established as Provincial Airlines, the carrier now operates as PAL Airlines and maintains its primary hub at St. John's International Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The airline operates a diverse regional fleet suited to Eastern Canada's geography and passenger volumes, including turboprops and twin-engine aircraft designed for smaller airports and shorter routes. This fleet composition reflects PAL Airlines' role as a connector for remote communities and secondary cities across the Atlantic provinces, Quebec, and Ontario, serving 22 destinations in total.

PAL Airlines participates in Canada's Aeroplan loyalty program and maintains a codeshare agreement with WestJet for domestic Canadian flights, allowing passengers to earn rewards and book connecting itineraries seamlessly. The airline also operates Air Borealis and PAL Aerospace subsidiaries, reinforcing its position as a key regional operator in Canada's aviation network.
