Flair Airlines sees success for first flown Summer
The low-fare airline Flair Airlines has seen a successful summer as it doubled its capacity in June. With this, they expanded their network to over 10 cities. This includes Halifax, Victoria. The airline is moving its headquarters to Edmonton form Kelowna at the end of 2018. Flair Airlines' aircraft will arrive in 2019 and this year they saw over 200 weekly flights operated.

Flair Airlines expands network
Flair, Canada's only operating low-fare airline, launches service from Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Calgary International Airport and Victoria International Airport. This marks Flair's commitment to expanding its route network as was announced earlier this year. With today's addition of Halifax, Calgary and Victoria - coupled with increased frequency on its existing routes - Flair has effectively doubled its flights and now has services stretching coast to coast.
Cities in which Flair flies to and from benefit significantly with lower airfares as a direct consequence of Flair's market presence: Since Flair launched service from Edmonton and Winnipeg (as an example) both communities have already reported 30-40% reductions in ticket prices (source: Kayak.com).
Echoing this, Flair's Executive Chairman, David Tait, commented, "In barely a year, Flair has had a tremendous impact in lowering the price of air travel in Canada and we are confident these new locations will be no different. We offer Canadians the opportunity to travel more often, to explore the country and, for small business owners, maybe visit out-of-province customers more often. We are delighted to bring spread our Flair throughout the country."
Flair Airlines will increase its flights per week from 90 to 188 beginning immediately - effectively increasing its direct, one stop and connectivity throughout its entire network.

Flair Airlines' expansion called 'shot across the bow of WestJet'
Kelowna-based Flair Airlines is going to offer new direct flights from Winnipeg to Calgary and Vancouver as it increases its flights per week to 208 in June. (CBC)
A Canadian aviation analyst says a move by Kelowna-based Flair Airlines to expand westward could be an effort to capitalize on some weaknesses in the market.
The low-cost airline is more than doubling its flights per week and adding new service to destinations that include Saskatoon and Calgary.
Flair Airlines has also announced new direct flights from Winnipeg to Calgary and Vancouver as it increases in June its flights per week to 208 from the 90 it currently offers.
CEO Jim Scott said in a statement that Canadians will benefit significantly because every time the airline enters a market, fares drop almost immediately by more than 20 per cent on the routes it serves.
Flair bills itself as the country's only low-cost airline, and Scott says the expanded flight schedule is a clear indication that the demand is strong for such an option.
Robert Kokonis, a Toronto-based aviation consultant, says it's an aggressive strategy.
"Two routes out of Calgary to Winnipeg and Vancouver, I mean that's taking a shot across the bow of WestJet because that's head office and the second largest base after Toronto."
Flair will also begin flying from Halifax, Saskatoon, Prince George and Victoria, resulting in a more than doubling of its flights per week.
Kokonis says there are likely two factors behind the expansion. First is the recent labour problems at WestJet sparked by the launch of its new low-cost airline, Swoop, which is scheduled for June. And second, the delay of another ultra-low cost airline, Jetlines.
"So, with that uncertainty there — Jetlines not launching this summer — with WestJet's labour turmoil, I think Flair has decided to go after a lot of these routes in a more focused fashion," he said.
Kokonis says that if Flair expands carefully, going after people who travel rarely or not at all, there should be room in the market.
He says the winners will be consumers, who should see a drop in ticket prices as soon as this summer.

Flair Airlines changes its ultra low cost model by eliminating carry-on fee
Flair Airlines Ltd. is tinkering in Canada with the ultra low-cost airline model used in the U.S. and Europe by eliminating carry-on luggage charges in response to consumer demand. Effective immediately, the B.C.-based carrier will remove its $30 carry-on baggage fee. Flair is "redefining" the ultra low cost carrier model in Canada. The airline started last summer by taking over the operations of New Leaf. Discount airlines keep fares low by charging a series of ancillary fees including baggage, seat selection, use of credit cards and food purchases. Some of the world's largest airlines of this type earn as much as 46 per cent of their revenues from extra fees. Flair Airlines allows for one small personal item, and now one carry-on bag per person free of charge. Standard luggage sizes apply. Passengers will be required to pay for other checked bags. “We want our passengers to have a positive experience with us, and if that requires us removing this fee, then we are delighted to respond,” stated Lapointe.
