Flair Airlines

🌫 Hail hath no fury like Mother Nature. August's operations are here, dinged up a little bit by Calgary's freak hailstorm that caught many aircraft in its path, causing some quick thinking, agility, and resilience from our team. 🌎 “Mother Nature made it clear who’s in charge,” said Flair Airlines CEO Maciej Wilk. “Despite the sudden intensity of Calgary’s hailstorm, we managed to keep up with the rest of the pack. Thanks to our agility and resourcefulness, we managed to keep operations as smooth as possible, minimizing disruptions for our passengers.” 🌿 One of our ongoing points of unparalleled excellence is our success as Canada's greenest airline. However, we know getting our travellers to their destinations on time matters the most to many. Transparency is part of building trust, so as much as August's operations weren't as stellar as in past months, it's important for the Flair team to share them. 📊 “We’re committed to transparency, sharing the good, the bad, and the areas needing improvement. While it’s not always easy, being upfront about our performance is key to earning passenger trust, especially when we fall short of our own high standards.” - Maciej Wilk ✈ ⬆ We look forward to sharing our improved operations in September; the only way to go is up! #FlyFlair #FlyFair #FlairAirlines Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gGNu8YQx

🇨🇦 It’s official: we are the home of the $1 base fare • 💸 Have we lost our senses? Quite the opposite, and to quote Maciej Wilk, it’s “not a limited-time gimmick, but a sustained commitment to offering unparalleled affordability across our entire network. And yet, our base fare is only a part of the total fare. We hope that airports, particularly in Canada, will follow suit and lower their fees so that more people can be empowered to travel.” Take a look at our $1 base fare* page to see how we’re making it possible for more people to explore more places more often. https://lnkd.in/gTfvmbpF 🛫 *** $1 base fare does not include airport fees

🚧 "During one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, Saskatoon International Airport informed us that they have made a decision to close down their largest runway for repairs, giving airlines less than one week’s notice of the change. This places both our customer’s plans and our operations at risk. While there are no issues yet, thanks to favourable weather, it is unacceptable to us to provide this little notice to an airport’s operation, and it causes Flair to evaluate its future in Saskatoon going forward." - Eric Tanner, regarding Saskatoon Airport // Aéroport de Saskatoon 's sudden runway closure announcement: #Saskatchewan #Saskatoon #YXE

"It is with sadness that we learned of the closure of Canada Jetlines. Our hearts go out to their dedicated team and their families during this difficult time. Canada Jetlines worked tirelessly to provide Canadians with a much-needed alternative to the status quo in aviation, and their departure is a sobering reminder of the challenges that face airlines committed to fair competition in this country. This news only strengthens Flair’s resolve. We understand our critical role in providing affordable, reliable air travel for Canadians. Our commitment to streamlining our operations, innovating in network planning, and maintaining agility in the face of external challenges remains unwavering. Flair’s mission has always been to drive market competition, ensuring Canadians have access to the lowest possible fares. We are more determined than ever to keep that promise. Competition in Canadian aviation is not just important—it’s essential. Flair has been at the forefront of challenging the Big Two, and we will continue to do so with resilience, dedication, and a clear focus on efficiency. We will honour the spirit of competition that Canada Jetlines helped foster by continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible, staying true to our mission, and ensuring that Flair remains a vital choice for travellers across Canada." -             Maciej Wilk, Flair CEO

Flair had an incredible long weekend at @BuskersHFX in Halifax, NS •🤹♀️🎭 Flying from YHZ to four Canadian cities, we brought Flair's connections to Halifax with our customized Connect 4 game. In keeping with our ethos of moments over things, we captured smiles and shared memories on Polaroids for folks to take home. It’s fun to think how many fridges those pictures might be on across Canada. Thank you to all who came by, played Connect 4, shared Flair memories with us - and won free flights! And thank you, Halifax, for that trademark Maritime hospitality. You kept our team flying all the way back to YKF, YYC, YXX and YVR. #flyflair #livewithflair

Proud of every journey, regardless of where it lands.
