With Canada gradually reopening for travel over the past few days, the Canadian Low-Cost Carrier Flair Airlines (F8, FLE) has announced a boost in operations for Spring 2022, with four new planes and 14 new routes, which represents a 33% schedule growth. A press release came out yesterday (October 19 2021) with all the details of the new operations.

What is Flair?

Flair Airlines (you can find its official website to this link) is a privately owned Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) from Canada, with headquarters in Edmonton, Alberta. Founded in 2005 as a regional airline focusing mostly on charter, cargo and ad-hoc flights, between 2018 and 2019, after a huge rebranding and reorganisation, the airline switched to an LCC business model, serving destinations across Canada and United States.

A look into the expansion

During Spring 2022, with the delivery of four Boeing 737MAX 8 ordered in January 2021, the airline will deploy 16 aircraft on its network. Two of them will be based in Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ), bringing the total number of planes based to five. Edmonton and Vancouver will each get one more plane based, bringing the number of planes based to respectively two and three. Flair estimates that the new aircraft deliveries will generate 150 new job positions among cabin crew, pilots and operational staff.

The airline’s goal is to contribute to the restart of travel and tourism with this expansion, providing affordable fares to fly within Canada and to the US. Stephen Jones, President and CEO, stated: “whether you’re looking for a weekend break on Vancouver Island or hiking in the Rockies, Flair will get you there affordably.”
