While winter flexed its might, Flair managed the most completed scheduled flights in February
EDMONTON, Alberta, March 5, 2025 – Despite relentless winter storms and operational disruptions, Flair Airlines delivered Canada’s highest flight completion factor in February at 94.5%, ensuring safe, reliable travel for 292,178 passengers.
“February put our operations to the test with severe weather and unforeseen disruptions, but our team rose to the challenge, leading the industry in flight completion,” said Maciej Wilk, Interim CEO of Flair Airlines. “While On-Time Performance was impacted across the board, our ability to adapt underscores our commitment to reliability. We’re excited to launch an updated schedule with routes designed to connect even more Canadians.”
WestJet completed 94.3% of flights, Porter Airlines 92.8%, and Air Canada trailed at 90.8%.
