Flair Airlines to Launch New Quebec City Routes

Flair Airlines has announced the upcoming launch of two routes that will serve Quebec City. Beginning in July 2023, Flair will operate thrice-weekly flights between Quebec City and Halifax, as well as twice-weekly flights between Quebec City and Edmonton.

This announcement marks the latest expansion of the ultra-low-cost-carrier’s network, to which Flair has added a number of other routes in the past year.

Flair Airlines to Begin Service to Quebec City in 2023

Flair Airlines will become the first ultra-low-cost-carrier to service Quebec City. The new routes will link Quebec City with two provincial capitals, one close to the Rocky Mountains in the west and one on the Atlantic Ocean in the east. 

Flair Airlines will launch thrice-weekly flights to Halifax beginning on July 6, 2023. The flights are already loaded into the airline’s website, and a one-way flight between the two cities can be booked for as little as $49 (CAD). 

At the outset, Flair intends to fly between the cities on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with the following flight times:

• F8985 Halifax (YHZ) to Quebec City (YQB), departing 5:45pm and arriving 6:30pm
• F8984 Quebec City (YQB) to Halifax (YHZ), departing 7:15pm and arriving 9:50pm

Similarly, Flair Airlines will begin direct service between its home base in Edmonton and Quebec City as of July 7, 2023.  The flights are set to fly on Monday and Friday each week, and can be already be booked for as little as $59 (CAD) per direction.

The flight times are as follows:

• F8762 Edmonton (YEG) to Quebec City (YQB), departing 2:45pm and arriving 8:55pm
• F8763 Quebec City (YQB) to Edmonton (YEG), departing 9:40pm and arriving 12:15am+1

Both routes will be served by Flair’s expanding fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, with a single economy cabin. Recently, Flair Airlines indicated its intention to double its fleet size by 2023, which will surely play a role in the airline’s expansion strategy. 

Following the standard ultra-low-cost-carrier model, passengers will have to pay extra for everything, including checked luggage, onboard food and drink, and larger carry-on baggage.
