Flair Airlines adding flights from Winnipeg to Regina, Saskatoon

Discount carrier Flair Airlines is adding flights from Winnipeg to Regina and Saskatoon.

The airline said one-way fares on the flights would start at $49, including taxes and fees. The twice-weekly flights are to start in the spring of 2022.

“Low-fare travel has arrived for the Prairies and we are excited to connect more families and travellers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan,” Stephen Jones, the president and CEO of Flair Airlines, said in a media release.

“Connecting Regina and Saskatoon to Winnipeg with sustainably low fares is an important step in Flair’s growth and we know our customers will love the service.”

The airline is expanding its fleet of aircraft to 16, allowing it to add additional routes.

“We are thrilled to see Flair Airlines introduce this new route between Regina and Winnipeg,” Regina Airport Authority CEO James Bogusz said in the release. “Travellers in southern Saskatchewan want connections between these two cities.

“This is a fantastic addition from Flair to build on the other amazing Canadian cities they are already serving out of YQR.”

“SkyXE is thrilled with the continued expansion of our relationship with Flair Airlines,” added Stephen Maybury, the president and CEO of the Saskatoon airport. “Winnipeg is a key domestic market for Saskatoon which will benefit from increased air service opportunities for our guests.”
