Canadian airline selling plane tickets that may be 'the lowest ever offered from Toronto'

According to the CEO of an ultra-cheap Canadian airline, the price of tickets being sold out of Toronto may be the lowest ever.

As per Flair Airlines CEO Stephen Jones, the ultra-low-cost airline is now offering tickets at prices that may even be less than “ride share to the airport itself.” The independent Canadian airline claims to offer “more accessible” and “more cheap” travel both within Canada and to the United States and Mexico. It operates on a similar flying model as Ryanair.

The Edmonton-based airline has been growing over the past 15 months, and as a result, it now has a fleet of 18 aircraft, 85 routes, and 36 locations from which it operates. These prices are likely the most affordable ever provided from Toronto. In other words, flying from Toronto to Ft. Lauderdale, Nashville, or Palm Springs is less expensive than taking a rideshare to the airport.

Additionally, there are one-way tickets for less than $50 to Thunder Bay, Saint John, Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg. Flights start at $69 to Vancouver. Travelers outside of Canada can even catch a flight to Palm Springs for as little as $99 or, starting at $94, depart for New York City.

One-way airfare to Cancun, Mexico, can be a little more expensive, beginning at $200. However, the present costs only take into consideration the “bare bundle,” which permits travellers to bring one personal item along with them. Even though Flair Airlines occasionally runs promotions, the airline claims that its costs are “typically 50% less than the same flight on other Airlines.”

Akasa Air vs. Pilots: Delhi High Court Upholds DGCA's Authority to Act in Case of Contractual Breaches

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is authorized to take action against pilots who violate civil aviation rules (CAR), the Delhi High Court ruled on Wednesday.

Akasa Air initiated legal action against pilots who had quit their jobs without giving the required notice by their contracts. In response to a request from the startup airline, which claimed it was in a crisis as a result of the sudden and abrupt resignation of 43 pilots who left the airline without providing the required notice period, the civil aviation regulator submitted written responses.

However, the Court ruled that it is now unable to give any explicit instructions to the DGCA and MCA regarding how to respond to a future representation that Akasa might make against defaulting pilots.

The court made it clear that there are no limitations on the DGCA’s power to take action in situations of pilot noncompliance in an interim judgment that offers relief to Akasa Air. The airline firm maintained that it is merely requesting a directive to the DGCA to decide their (Akasa’s) claims against pilots who may depart the airline in the future without serving the notice period, not that it is pressing for any action against the pilots who have already quit.

The DGCA had stated that it lacked the power or authority to intervene in any employment contract and therefore was unable to affect the employment contract between the pilots and Akasa Air.

The aviation authority said that if Akasa Air doesn’t have enough pilots to continue operating flights, it would be in the interests of all parties if it complies with the requirement to keep a limited schedule.
