Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

A321XLR will be a game changer for narrow body seasonal routes. Whether or not EIA benefits remains to be seen.

I think there is too much uncertainty right now about air travel in general. Despite any plans that Airlines might have I think it's just a wait-and-see for any new routes or developments at the airport.

Well well cowboy don’t you wish you hadn’t posted this just hours before Flair’s big announcement?
Seriously though in regards to the XLR it won’t be available for another year or two and probably five years or so before anyone would consider flying it out of EIA.

This is great news. Hopefully more service out of Edmonton, too, and better for other markets as well. Flair has also refreshed their look again.

Must have got a smoking deal on the 737 Max leases...

^^^^ don't know if I would choose "smoking" as the best adjective when describing 737 Maxes, especially with the verbalization of the airlines name (i.e. smoking flair -- flair identical sounding to flare).

Looked on website.
Edmonton is direct to Victoria, Abbotsford, Ottawa and Kitchener along with previous destinations such as Vancouver and Toronto. Saw one guy booked Ottawa flight from YEG return for $90. I checked and a one way is $49.

Well, Ottawa indeed has been on my bucket list for a while! If only I didn't have asthma

Good news. Flair is going to try put the bunch of new planes it just got to use and really only domestic routes are applicable at this time.

They also seem to try avoid the bigger hubs, which is good particularly if your destination is not one of them or an international connection through them.

I flew with them once, it was fine. No problems.
