Flair Airlines, based in Edmonton, Alberta, operates as Canada's leading independent ultra-low-cost carrier. With a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft, the airline offers no-frills services to provide affordable travel across Canada and other destinations such as the United States, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Mexico.

Since its inception in 2005, Flair has expanded from being an exclusive supplier for Shell Canada to offering scheduled services both domestically and internationally. An analysis by Simple Flying highlights the top routes served by Flair Airlines more than once daily this month.

The route from Halifax Stanfield International Airport to Toronto Pearson International Airport will see 58 flights this May. "Halifax is the largest population centre in Canada's Atlantic provinces," with Flair's direct service catering to Toronto's vast population within the 'Golden Horseshoe' region.
