Low-cost airline launches Tucson nonstops to 5 Canadian cities

The new nonstop flights are expected to provide warm refuge from the cold for Canadians and a shot in the arm for Tucson tourism.

David Wichner Canadian low-cost carrier Flair Airlines launched its new nonstop flights from Tucson International Airport on Wednesday with the first of its twice-weekly flights to Edmonton and Fort McMurray, Alberta.

Flair’s Tucson nonstops — except for Edmonton, the only flights to a U.S. city for the other five Canadian airports — are expected to provide warm refuge from the cold and a shot in the arm for local tourism. The airport worked with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to renovate the federal inspection station at TIA’s Concourse A, where Flair is operating, to clear passengers from the Canadian airports it will serve, except for Edmonton International, where passengers are pre-cleared by U.S. Customs officers.
