Flair Airlines cut roughly 600 flights from spring travel schedule, data shows
Global News
Flair Airlines is trimming some 600 flights from its March, April and May flight schedule in 2024 compared with last year, data provided to Global News confirms.
Flair Airlines is paring down its flight schedule for the spring.
The Edmonton-based low-cost airline is flying roughly 600 fewer flights in March, April and May compared with the same months in 2023, according to data provided to Global News by Cirium, an aviation analytics company.
That means fewer domestic flights departing from the carrier’s major hubs, including Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton.
Specifics of the reduced schedule were first reported by The Globe and Mail on Friday.
Flair Airlines did not respond to Global News on Friday when asked for details about the cuts.
But a statement from Eric Tanner, the airline’s vice-president of revenue management and network planning, sent to Global News on Wednesday confirmed the flight reductions.
He said there is a “broader context” to Flair’s cuts, however, noting that the airline’s “available seat miles” were up four per cent year over year, expanding the carrier’s overall capacity from last year.
Tanner said that was driven by Flair flying longer trips on average compared with last year. These flights are less affected by the “considerable airport costs” that come with landing in Canada, he said.
