Flair Airlines CEO shifts blame for seized planes while passengers left scrambling Flair
Jones suspects Airborne Capital worked with one of Canada's major airlines to undermine Flair.
“We do believe there were negotiations going on behind the scenes between one of the majors and the lessor to, you know, hurt Flair by offering above-market rates for the aircraft we have been leasing.” Of the 1,900 passengers impacted by the flight cancellations, 420 were able to re-book within 72 hours. The airline says the rest were offered flights at a later date or a full refund.
