Flair Airlines is heading back to Newfoundland and Labrador for the summer, restoring nonstop service between Toronto and St. John’s as demand for domestic travel continues to hold.
The value carrier will operate three weekly flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and St. John’s International Airport (YYT) starting May 1, with base fares beginning at CAD$159.

For advisors, the return adds another low-cost option into a market driven by both visiting friends and relatives traffic and summer leisure demand. St. John’s remains one of the country’s most distinct destinations, known for its coastal scenery, culture, and growing culinary appeal.
Airport officials say the added lift restores important capacity on one of its busiest routes.
