Summer 2025 will see up to 340 additional monthly flights across these routes compared to last year, representing a year-over-year increase of 50% or more for each one. The increased frequencies are possible due in part to the strong cooperation between Flair and the YEG, YYC, YVR and YXX airports.

“Flair’s expansion at YEG is a testament to the growing demand for travel options in our region,” said Adrian Warchola, Director, Air Service Development, Edmonton International Airport (YEG). “This increase in non-stop service helps to strengthen connections for our community, drive economic prosperity and provide more opportunities to explore.”
