Inaugural flight for Flair Airlines

Today marks the inaugural Flair Airlines flight from Kelowna International Airport (YLW) to Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Flair is now officially offering low-cost service from YLW to Edmonton and Vancouver.

Flights to Vancouver are available Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, while flights to Edmonton will occur Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

"Flair Airlines is headquartered in Kelowna, so this means a great deal to us; to begin offering flights to and from Kelowna International Airport. We consider today a bit of a homecoming," said Chris Lapointe, Vice President of Commercial Operations. "We want to connect Canadians, and we believe the routes that we are offering from here will amplify our reach across Canada."

“We’re pleased to welcome and support Kelowna’s very own Flair Airlines,” said Sam Samaddar, YLW’s Airport Director. “Flair brings new opportunity for leisure travellers to share in and experience all that the Okanagan has to offer.”

Passengers can make reservations on the airline’s website at flairairlines.com or by calling 204-888-2665.
