Flair Airlines, which in November announced new routes connecting this province to Ontario, says it remains focused on delivering the best value and “exceptional” service to customers.
In a post on X, the airline issued a response to recent media reports indicating that the company was in tax arrears to the tune of $67 million and that an order had been issued to seize the carrier’s property.
Flair says it owes importation duties on 18 aircraft. The company says it has been, “and are working closely with the CRA to regularly pay the duties owed and are current with that plan.”
In November, Flair announced new routes between St. John’s, Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo, and between Deer Lake and Toronto starting in the spring.
