Flair Airlines plans to grow to 50 planes

Earlier this month, Canadian carrier Flair Airlines, introduced a new CEO, who has stated in an interview that he wants to grow the airline significantly in order to operate efficiently due the economy of scale. The idea is to grow the current fleet of three aircraft to around 50 in the coming few years.

The low-cost carrier was founded in 2005 and has its hub at Edmonton International and flies to eleven destinations with their three B737-800s.

The CEO also said that their B737-800s are "not the best aircraft that you can get your hands on" and that they would need a better type to fulfil their mission. Which aircraft that is remains to be seen, but according to him both Airbus and Boeing would be in contention for the expansion.
