Orlando International expands Canadian connections with Flair Airlines' new routes

The inaugural flight from Toronto Pearson took off slightly behind schedule but managed to land on time in Orlando. According to Flair Airlines, this route is "especially exciting" as it offers convenient access for travelers between Toronto and Orlando.

Kevin J. Thibault, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, highlighted the benefits of these new routes: "With direct flights from both major cities and regional hubs, Canadians and Floridians now have easier, affordable access to explore and experience new adventures."

Flair will face no direct competition on three out of four new routes. However, it will enter a competitive market for flights between Orlando and Toronto alongside Air Canada, WestJet, and Porter Airlines.

Casandra Matej, President and CEO of Visit Orlando welcomed the addition: “The new direct flights from Toronto Pearson, London and Saint John...are making it even easier for Canadians to travel to the theme park capital of the world.”

Saint John Airport Manager Lori Carle shared local excitement over resuming international service: “Last winter's enthusiastic response showcased the value of this service.”

To ensure customer satisfaction amid potential delays during peak travel seasons such as winter escapes or holiday visits back home—particularly important given increased demand during these periods—Flair has introduced an On-Time Guarantee program offering automatic compensation for delayed flights exceeding one hour.
