“I think it’s a hell of an exciting time,” said Flair chief executive Stephen Jones in a conference call. Just months after he was hired, Jones set an ambitious target to
reach 50 aircraft within five years. Wednesday’s announcement is part of that plan.
“I think what we saw over the summer, when in particular August when things felt a little more free, the demand for travel just surged,” said Jones. As a private company, Flair does not report financial data, but
executives say summer loads were in excess of 90%. “These aircraft in this order that are for delivery in the mid-to-late summer of next year and 2023. And so it’s our belief that by that time, the vaccination rates will be such and the pandemic will be under much more control than it has been, and that demand is going to rocket.”
But uncertainty reigns in aviation, with countries adjusting the rules in response to new COVID-19 variant
“We’ll deal with that at the time,” said Jones. “The airline is well practiced dealing with shocks and we’ll manage ourselves accordingly.”

“We will be adding depth in terms of expanding the number of frequencies on existing routes,” said Chief Operating Officer Garth Lund. “On top of that, you’ll also see new destinations coming in. And that’ll be in Canada, but also expanding further in the U.S.”
Flair will create more than 1,000 new jobs when the aircraft are all in service, said Jones.
“We’ll be expanding in Toronto next year, we’ve seen very good demand there,” said Lund.
He said Flair would also add aircraft to bases in Edmonton and Vancouver.
