Flair Airlines announced the expansion of its base at YKF with new routes and three new aircraft.
The airline is adding new routes to YSJ and YYG out of YKF, beginning on 08 and 09JUN respectively. YYG will be flown two times per week on Thursdays and Sundays, while YSJ will be flown three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. One-way fares to both destinations, including taxes and fees, begin at CAD $29.
Flair first established a base in YKF with two aircraft, with the three new additions bringing the total number of jobs at the airport to approximately 150, both directly and indirectly, including customer service agents, ground handlers, cabin crews, maintenance staff, and more. The addition of the three aircraft will make Region of Waterloo International Airport one of Flair’s largest bases.
“Kitchener-Waterloo is an incredibly important part of the Flair network and we’re excited to expand our base here,” said Stephen Jones, President and CEO, Flair Airlines.
“Strengthening our ties with Region of Waterloo International Airport will allow us to serve more destinations from the airport in the future, as well as create new jobs for the region. As the airport completes extensive renovations, we feel that it is the perfect time to reaffirm our commitment to the region and grow with the airport.
The airline maintains bases in Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto, and Kitchener-Waterloo.
