EDMONTON — Flair Airlines has launched its new service from Edmonton to Quebec City, connecting the two cities together through direct flights for the first time ever.

Flights will run twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays.

“We are excited to launch the first ever direct flight connecting Edmonton and Quebec City,” said Garth Lund, Chief Commercial Officer at Flair Airlines. “We look forward to offering Edmontonians more choice and affordable travel options as well as continuing our relationship with the Edmonton International Airport.”

“Quebec City is a vibrant Canadian destination, and we believe this new non-stop route from YEG will open doors for increased tourism and business connections between the two regions,” said Myron Keehn, President and CEO of Edmonton International Airport (YEG). “Flair continues to grow and evolve, and as their home base and hub, we couldn’t be more excited about this growth. Flair serves 15 non-stop destinations from YEG, and we look forward to continuing to see this number grow and welcome more visitors, businesses, and opportunities to the Edmonton Metro Region.”
