11 Of Flair's Boeing 737 MAX Are Resold White Tails

As whitetail aircraft often represent a good deal, it looks like budget airline Flair has managed to score some bargains.

I wonder how good a deal it was money wise ... and whether Boeing solicited bids quietly from bigger Boeing customers and 777 Partners just pounced on it.

If I didn’t see it for my own eyes I would have sworn it was a hoax. Prince George airport this morning

I actually thought they had a base at YYC already or at least one had been telegraphed for quite a while.
 
So Flair is putting a base and hangar there or are they already existing? If not existing, why wouldn't they build that infrastructure at YEG instead?

Going to have a hangar, three aircraft and open some new routes from yyc to Vegas, Phoenix and PV, Mexico.

This is Flair's 7th base like this across Canada.

Some fighting words from the CEO here: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/not-eve...n-canada-s-crowded-market-flair-ceo-1.1915023

'“I think there will be churn. I don’t think every airline is going to succeed and grow," said Jones in an interview."

I do think opening a base at YYC is a good thing for our hometown airline to grow, as it will put pressure on WestJet's Canadian routes from there as mentioned in the article. As long as they keep YEG/Edmonton as their HQ and main base, I am happy.
