Federal review threatens Flair Airlines' licence
The popular carrier, which the region credits with boosting traffic at the Region of Waterloo International Airport is facing turbulence as to whether or not it is Canadian controlled.

From what I gather, the dispute is between Prescott Strategic Investment, and Triple 7 partners, and Flair is caught in the middle. I suggest that we start an investment fund to help Flair out and buy a portion of the airline so that Canadian ownership is assured... I'm not even kidding, for anyone in Edmonton this would be a very strategic investment.

"Starting early April 2022, the Canadian Red Cross, in support of the Government of Canada, will provide arrival services at the Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver international airports. This support includes providing translation services, as well as information in their language of choice to help connect Ukrainians with government and community services."

I need to apply for mine, but still need another 4 months living in Canada for this.
Do you know how long it takes for the first time you get it?

The first time usually takes longer; I believe mine was 4-6 months.

Wowzers! Nice to see YEG busy AF this morning! Westjet check in went all the way halfway to Flair’s desk area. I’d say they need more desk room but that’ll probably not happen….

Glad to hear it. I was sad to see that the plaza premium lounge in the transborder terminal remains closed. Hopefully that can reopen in the near future.

2022 numbers are going to blow 2021 out of the water but it will set a good mark to compare with 2019 and see how much more we will need to recover to return to pre pandemic numbers. We are still well below half of what we saw in Feb 2019 as an example. Feb 2019 total numbers was 636,683.
