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...

Re: Last time on flair

Can the mods remove this post?

Look I'm no flair pilot, but I follow it for the internal pilot talks (and then some).

I've heard on and off rumours for the past few months of something happening between these two carriers.

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.

This is press flair continues to get...

Re: ground schools canceled

Looking at the summer schedule, it looks like a new aircraft type will be running some route pairings.
Is flair wet/dry leasing one of Jetlines' A320's?

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: Flair Pilots

Lots of gloom being sent from non-flair pilots.

I'm very curious on what the internal consensus is with the entire situation. Has there been any communication from executives to any staff?

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 ...

This article is inaccurate and the source is questionable. No source indicates there are unpaid Nav-Canada fees.

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...

Re: First flight on Flair

I wonder when they'll bring back inflight drinks and snacks. They're definitely missing some easy revenue.
