Flair Airlines buys NewLeaf Travel

Flair Airlines has bought NewLeaf Travel Company’s assets, including its “marketing, selling and distribution engine.” The acquisition transports Flair Air from a charter company to a full-fledged, scheduled airline with its own reservation department, airport passenger services facilities, and full control over the operations side of the business. Even though its fleet consists of five 737-400s, Flair said that the acquisition of NewLeaf establishes it “as Canada’s third national airline, providing service coast to coast.”
