Hmmm...

Are you certain they only have a cargo licence? The first aircraft onto their OC was CFLHR. CFLHR is the "Leaving on a Jet Plane" pax aircraft.


I thought they have a dual pax/cargo licence and this was just a TC decission regarding all cargo rights between Canada and Cuba under a wetlease to Cubana.

And regarding the ownership, if you read back a few posts to where I gave some details on CFLHR. It listed the owner address. When you do a reverse lookup on that address it's Jim Rogers of KFC.

Since the registration on this aircraft has always been CFLHR since in the KFC system, it may lead one to believe that this "Flair" program has been in the works for a while.

FYI

Saw the second flair aircraft CFLHJ on the Vista ramp in YYZ yesterday getting ready for work. Who's pilots are flying given that KF is doing the maintenance, dispatch, etc on this.

Flair Airlines has it's own flight crews. Some required services such as maintenance and dispatch are contracted out as necessary.

So, Mr. Perraton, how long before the cargo machine is up and running again?

Flair now has a 727 cargo in they color C-FLHJ he's on the vista cargo ramp in YYZ

Yup...the name in gold lettering "Flair~Air" is painted on the black tail...it matches the black oil dripping from the jurassic engines.

Just kidding

It maybe be a "scab airline", but this is to show that NO job is secured and guaranteed. Not Air Canada, not Westjet not even the Space Shuttle program.

Make sure you union lovers understand the difference and the limit to squeezing vs. choking.

LHJ, the freighter, is white with a red stripe and has no winglets. LHR is the passenger bird with the gold letters and winglets.

At least they are getting away from the tacky Flightcraft paint jobs

They also have a 737-400, pax machine. They have been flying in and out of YEG and YYC and oing charters for some oil sands op up into Firebag for a while now. There was recently an add on this site for '37 crews.

Not any more. LHJ got a paint job while she was in C-Check and now has the matching paint job with the rest off the fleet.
