Yes, they have the Liberal charter contract...and the aircraft is going back at the end of this month..

Well they hit a snag with the liberal charter ... Looks like they are subcontracting.

The Liberals originally expected Calgary-based Enerjet, headed by WestJet Airlines Ltd. co-founder Tim Morgan, to supply a newer model Boeing 737.

But Enerjet's spiffy Boeing 737-800 needs to be returned to its lessor at the end of March, so that has forced a change in plans.

Flair is part of Enerjet's team??? Ha ha - I guess that is one way you can spin it.....sounds a lot better than scrambling last minute to salvage a commitment they couldn't keep.

The next question to be asked is - why did Enerjet wait until the last minute before notifying the Liberal Party of this? Do you really think a) that the Liberal's would have selected Enerjet had they known that the lease on the 800 was scheduled to be going back to the lessor right in the middle of the election campaign and b) Why would Enerjet promise an 800 if they knew it was a planned return that would have fallen during the election?

Maybe it wasn't planned...

But who knows.......

You can only polish a turd so much - it's still a turd.

Enerjet partners with Flair Air

Date: March 27, 2011

Enerjet is pleased to welcome Flair Air to our election air charter team, which will be serving the Liberal Party of Canada during the 2011 federal election campaign.

The addition of Flair provides greater depth and flexibility to our air charter service. Recent situations in other parts of the world have put unforeseen pressure on the aviation industry to move people and cargo in and out of distressed regions. Many aircraft have been repositioned as a result, reducing the inventory available for domestic charter flying in Canada. By teaming up with Flair Air, Enerjet can respond more efficiently and effectively to client needs during this period of high demand.

Enerjet is a Canadian registered airline headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Flair Air is a Canadian registered airline headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia.

The EnerFlair Iggy Express B734 is on the move. Interesting that they use an Enerjet callsign.

Ah ha!! I presume they are leasing this one from CJA until they get their other 737 that was supposed to be here earlier this week??
Any news on that delivery?

The Canjet aircraft is operated by Canjet crew.

I love these guys!! Haha, what an embrassment.

Lets get 2 new shiny planes. AHHH! No work!! Send them back!

Lets bid on the Esso contract. AHHH! We lost, boo-hoo. Why did they pick the slow plane that pollutes more then ours??

Lets bid on the Liberal flying contract. AHHH! We won, but we don't have any aircraft!!! Now what? GGGRRR, call 1-800-FLAIR with their slow plane that pollutes more then ours did.

Ohh no, we forgot about the Suncor contract. AHHH! we have no shiny new planes. What should we do....call westjet, no all Canjet!!!

It sounds like Enerjet is getting a new aircraft. I also heard that they have a new contract with an airline in the Caribbean. Anyone knows what airline and what type of equipment they will be flying?

....................and STILL no airplane........................

Anyone know if they are keeping the pilots on payroll, while they have nothing to fly?

And isn't there an obligation to have at least 1 aircraft to keep your OC valid? When do they lose it?

It appears that Enerjet has some new financing to keep things going and hopefully get back in the air soon!!

Funny, see and hear them in and out of YEG and the oilsands all the time. Must just training flights!

In fact, prior to the B738 going back to Europe, they were doing a lot of flying. Often 5+ days per week and up to 8 legs per day.

Airplane is here!
