VANCOUVER, B.C., May 31, 2024 – Flair Airlines, Canada’s leading low-fare airline, is thrilled to announce its inaugural direct flight from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) on May 31, 2024. Flair will also begin non-stop flights from Toronto International Airport (YYZ) to Guadalajara beginning on September 13, 2024.
“This exciting new route offers travellers affordable, non-stop opportunities to explore and visit the vibrant cities of Vancouver and Guadalajara with Flair,” said Flair Airlines’ Chief Commercial Officer, Garth Lund. “When we announced the route, we were positively overwhelmed at the great responses from Canadians and Mexicans alike with deep ties to and from Guadalajara, Vancouver and Toronto. This expansion demonstrates our agility and commitment to connecting communities and evolving alongside the travel needs of our passengers.”
The route’s importance to Guadalajara is significant as the bustling cultural destination is increasingly becoming a hub for businesses wanting a foothold in Mexico.
“The new connection with Vancouver represents a great opportunity for the tourism sector,” stated the Secretary of Tourism, Jalisco, Vanessa Perez Lamas. “Jalisco received almost 500 thousand Canadian visitors last year, making Canada the second most important international market for Jalisco. We definitely expect this market to grow with this new route.”
“I am delighted that Flair Airlines has chosen YVR to operate a new non-stop flight between Vancouver and Guadalajara” said Russell Atkinson, Director, Air Services Development at Vancouver International Airport. “We welcome this new non-stop service which supports the growth of tourism in both Canada and Mexico while helping people more easily connect with their loved ones.”
As Canada’s sole ULCC (ultra-low cost carrier), Flair plays a critical role in providing accessible air travel options, ensuring choice and affordability remains for Canadian travelers. By disrupting the Canadian aviation landscape, Flair is democratizing air travel, empowering Canadians to explore more of their own backyard and beyond. Flair’s core mission remains steadfast – to make affordable air travel possible in Canada, to Canada and from Canada and now, increasingly, to and from Mexico.
With non-stop routes from Vancouver and Toronto to Guadalajara, Canadians now have enhanced access to the thriving cultural hub while Mexicans can connect directly and affordably with two of Canada’s most metropolitan cities.
Flair’s full winter route schedule is available now, providing Canadians with fair and affordable flights domestically and to sun destinations.
