Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF
Jetlines homepage indicates that the hub would  be Waterloo Region and/or Hamilton.

Quote:Jetlines’ “clean sheet” ULCC business plan also opens up for jet air service many of Canada’s secondary airports that lack this type of service, but have demonstrated a strong business case for jet service into their communities. Jetlines plans to operate scheduled point-to-point all jet air service with primary bases at the Vancouver International Airport ("YVR") and Southern Ontario (Hamilton International Airport (“YHM”), and/or Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF)), with a secondary base at the Winnipeg International Airport (“YWG”). This is consistent with the May 9, 2017 announcement that established the Southern Ontario Airport Network (“SOAN”) of eleven airports that surround Toronto. The focus of SOAN is to enhance air transportation service and capacity in the region and the low fare air service that will be offered by Jetlines will directly serve this goal. Jetlines can confirm that it has commenced negotiations with some of the SOAN member airports with the intent to operate ULCC flights using these airports.

A few months ago it looked like they would use Hamilton as a hub.  Today, they seem to be leaning towards Waterloo Region.  

Send them love (emails) if you want them to use YKF as a hub.
