Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt

- Flair bookings can be made via 3rd party websites (Expedia/CheapoAir) under WorldTicket (Operated by Flair Airlines Ltd.) - Awfully similar to NewLeaf and we all know how that went - Flair continues to not be able to get ancillary revenue, which is costing hundreds of thousands of dollars (BOB, Ch...

Swoop is Over Party

https://globalnews.ca/news/9758088/west ... own-swoop/

Operations to be fully integrated by the end of October. Time to unswoop the swooped routes and crew!

All Swoop employees to be integrated into mainline. Will YHM crew go to YYZ or will Westjet maintain a small base?

Re: Discrimination

Honestly, its not discrimination, more so poor decisions on the crew part.

The family who got the bad end of the stick are using the race card because of the incident. If any other family was in a similar situation, it wouldn't be titled as discrimination.

Re: ground schools canceled

I'm no industry expert, but maybe flair will be restructuring going forward. I can't see leasing companies wanting to give flair aircraft given all the recent press. They need to figure out how to restructure and keep the business afloat, and if that means halting expansion and rejigging their inter...

Re: 4 Flair aircraft seized

Flair Airlines, a Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier, has had some of its planes seized by the Canadian government due to unpaid fees owed to Nav Canada, the country’s air navigation service provider. The exact number of planes seized is unknown, but it’s believed to be at least three. Flair's planes ...

Re: 4 Flair aircraft seized

The one airline that actually wanted to serve smaller markets will now probably go under. What a shame, flair made a huge difference in the Canadian aviation landscape and lowered prices of airfares for the past 6 years. Their loads are absolutely amazing this week (obviously), but even in the few w...
