Flair Airlines has announced it has added extra flights between Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton beginning the holiday weekend.

The airline hopes to help Canadians impacted by the WestJet pilots’ strike embark on their planned travels with minimal disruption.

The first of the additional flights depart May 19, 2023. The airline is creating contingency plans to service more destinations with flight frequencies should the WestJet pilots’ strike continue for an extended period.

Flair Airlines saw an increase in flight bookings since news of the WestJet pilots’ strike was first reported in the news media and began preparing contingency plans before the strike announcement. The airlines’ flights are increasingly full, with load factors in April 2023 reaching 90.3%. In addition, the airline reported on-time performance of 74.1%, among the highest in Canada.

One-way fares, including taxes and fees, for these special flights begin at $99. There are limited seats and availability for the fares. The flights include additional frequencies between Calgary and Vancouver, as well as an additional flight between Edmonton and Vancouver.
