This new route is part of Flair’s expansion of service as it plans to grow its ultra-low-cost route network to in excess of 19 destinations this summer. Part of the growth plan will also see the budget carrier add 13 more 737 aircraft to their fleet during the rest of this year.
“Growing our service by connecting two iconic destinations on each side of the country is an important step in our bringing low fares and affordable travel options to more Canadians,” says Stephen Jones, President & CEO. “We know there is a need for ULCC service as travel begins to return and connecting two cities that are year-round destinations will ensure Canadians can explore their country affordably all year long.”
Flair was one of the first airlines to reduce service to only essential routes during the pandemic. With the anticipation of travel returning during the summer, the airline will begin increasing service in May.
“We know there is pent up demand for people to see families and have affordable vacations once it is safe for us to travel again. As a ULCC, our efficiencies are passed along in our pricing. Our low fares are an important step in restarting the tourism industry as they allow people to explore more, and both Ottawa and Kelowna are two attractive regions for domestic tourism.”
