Global News
The airline unveiled direct flights between London and Cancun will be available twice a week starting November and twice weekly flights to Orlando will be available in January.
Flair Airlines announced two new sunny destinations will be offered directly from London International Airport later this year and next year.
The airline and airport unveiled direct flights between London and Cancun, Mexico, will be available twice a week beginning Nov. 29. Twice weekly flights to Orlando, Fla., will be available starting Jan. 22, 2024.
“It’s always exciting to get new non-stop destinations,” said Scott McFadzean, CEO of London International Airport. “Adding this winter Cancun and Orlando is a big deal for London and the surrounding area.”
McFadzean says with Swoop ending operations later this year and Sunwing set to be absorbed into WestJet, it is crucial that other airlines invest in London.
“We hope that the more people that use the service, the more demand they see from this market, the more they are going to want to put into London,” McFadzean said.
Flair Airlines CEO Stephen Jones said Tuesday the company generally only invests multiple flights a week into markets where they know there is a demand from the area. With multiple weekly flights to Cancun and Orlando, McFadzean says it is great that the company sees the London area’s value.
“I think they recognize London is the fastest growing city in Ontario … and that there’s a tremendously large population they think are underserved in terms of aircraft and flight options.”
When it came to selecting the destination options, McFadzean says the airport and Flair have regular discussions for locations that would work best.
