Flair Airlines has recently introduced a direct flight between Edmonton and Quebec City, marking it as the first-ever connection between the two cities. This exciting new route will operate twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, with one-way fares starting at just $59. Known for its affordable flights in over 35 cities across Canada, the United States, and Mexico, Flair Airlines aims to provide Edmontonians with more travel options while maintaining a strong partnership with the Edmonton International Airport.
This direct flight will have a multifaceted impact, as cargo will also be transported within passenger planes. Sarah Tiet, a representative of Edmonton Global, an economic investment attraction organization representing 14 communities, explains that bringing people to the region will attract businesses and investors. Additionally, the region’s free-trade zone and strategic location position it as a potential gateway to Canada.
To support such flight opportunities, 14 municipalities joined forces three years ago to establish the regional opportunity air services fund. This proactive collaboration between municipalities and the business community has been instrumental in incentivizing and attracting these opportunities to the region.
Tiet acknowledges that when people think of Canada, cities such as Vancouver and Toronto often come to mind, while Alberta’s potential in industries beyond oil and gas has been overlooked. The key focus is to raise awareness about the region’s offerings and meet the existing demand.
Myron Keehn, CEO of Edmonton International Airport, believes that this new flight will enhance tourism and business connections between Edmonton and Quebec City. He anticipates increased travel, as Flair Airlines already serves 15 non-stop destinations from Edmonton, and looks forward to welcoming more visitors, businesses, and opportunities to the Edmonton Metro Region.
In summary, Flair Airlines’ launch of a direct flight between Edmonton and Quebec City signifies a significant milestone, opening doors for increased connectivity and economic growth. Through collaborative efforts by municipalities and the business community, this flight opportunity has become a reality, showcasing the region’s potential beyond traditional industries. As awareness grows, so does the anticipation of stronger tourism and business ties between Edmonton and Quebec City. © 2023 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
