Flair Airlines

ABOUT

Flair Airlines (F8) is a Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier based in Edmonton, Alberta. It offers affordable, no-frills travel to more than 35 destinations across Canada, the United States, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. The fleet includes Boeing 737-400, 737-800, and 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The airline focuses on low base fares with optional add-ons such as carry-on and checked bags, seat selection, and snacks. This approach mirrors other ULCCs while targeting popular domestic routes including Toronto to Vancouver, Calgary to Abbotsford, and Edmonton to Victoria, as well as select international cities like Mexico City and Montego Bay.

Founded in 2005 as Flair Air in Kelowna, the company began with charter and cargo services. It entered the ultra-low-cost market in 2017 after acquiring NewLeaf Travel Company and rebranded as Flair Airlines, later moving its headquarters to Edmonton. The airline continues to expand access to air travel in Canada by lowering costs and broadening route options for price-conscious travelers.
