Flair Airlines adding new winter flights to Arizona at 3 Alberta airports
Global News
The service to the Tucson International Airport will begin in late November and early December, and run into March 2023.
Flair Airlines, an independent low-cost carrier based out of Edmonton, has announced flights from five Canadian airports to Tucson, Arizona starting next winter — including three in Alberta.
According to Flair Airlines CEO Garth Lund, the Edmonton International Airport and Fort McMurray Airport will see twice-weekly service.
The Lethbridge Airport, the Prince George Airport in northern B.C. and the Windsor International Airport in Ontario will have one flight per week.
The service to the Tucson International Airport will begin in late November and early December, and run into March 2023.
“What’s really exciting about this is — aside from Edmonton — most of these cities don’t right now have non-stop affordable service to the sun,” Lund said during a Tuesday news conference.
Currently, the Lethbridge Airport only has one major carrier: WestJet became the sole airline servicing YQL after Air Canada dropped its routes in March 2020.
“We’ve worked with Lethbridge Airport and the local authorities to be able to launch this service,” Lund said.
Tucson is one of the southern state’s largest cities. Lund said while it might not be as well-known as some other more-established southern U.S. travel destinations like Phoenix and Palm Springs, the airline is looking to help change that.
