Flair Airlines, a Canadian “low-cost” carrier, is expanding and it will provide service between Denver International Airport and Toronto starting next spring.
Headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Flair will fly from DIA to Toronto Pearson International Airport three times weekly beginning April 15, the airline announced Tuesday.
“Expanding Denver’s global connectivity not only aids in our economic recovery, it also continues to elevate our city as a global hub,” Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock said in a DIA news release. “As borders reopen and we begin to welcome back international travel, the investment by Flair into Denver is a big boost for our community and local businesses.”
Flair, which started passenger service in 2017, is expanding rapidly. It’s network includes 19 destinations in Canada and nine cities in the United States.
“Flair Airlines is excited to bring our low fares and exceptional Canadian service to the Mile High City,” says Stephen Jones, president & CEO of Flair Airlines, in the release. “Connecting Denver and Toronto with nonstop flights and Flair’s signature low fares will provide endless opportunities for sports enthusiasts, foodies and adventure travelers on both sides of the border.”
Flair will become DIA’s 25th airline, airport officials said. In 2019, Toronto ranked as DIA’s largest market in Canada in terms of demand, with nearly 125,000 travelers annually between the two cities.
“We are pleased to welcome Flair as DEN’s newest airline partner,” said Phil Washington, the airport’s CEO. “These new flights to Toronto will provide more options for travelers visiting Canada and further increase Denver’s accessibility to visitors.”
Flair will fly the Boeing 737 MAX 8, a 189-seat aircraft, on the Denver route.
The carrier is expanding its schedule by 33% in Canada and the U.S. with four new aircraft, the airline said. Service in the spring will also launch to San Francisco and Nashville, Tenn.
“Travelling and reconnecting with friends will be among the top priorities for many Canadians in the coming months, and Flair is continuing our growth by adding more aircraft and routes so we can bring sustainably low fares to even more iconic destinations across North America,” Jones said in a Flair news release. “Whether you’re looking for a weekend break on Vancouver Island or hiking in the Rockies, Flair will get you there affordably.”
Today, DEN is getting a bit more flair! Canadian carrier @FlairAirlines will join the DEN family with flights to Toronto (YYZ) beginning in April 2022. By the look of their aircraft, we'd say they're doing so in style! pic.twitter.com/i2fGpz6kHE
