Toronto Sun: '...If they shut down Flair for not being Canadian enough under the law, then jobs are lost and competition is reduced. If they don’t shut down Flair, then they’re playing favourites and telling the other airlines that are following the rules on foreign ownership that those rules don’t really apply.
'Flair started out as a cargo and charter airline and has been trying to carve out a niche as Canada’s first independent ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC). That puts them in competition with Air Canada’s budget division Rouge, and Swoop, which is owned by WestJet and Lynx, the just-launched ULCC set to begin flights next month.
'As part of its expansion into offering the travelling public a wide range of cheap flights, Flair partnered with Miami based 777 Partners LLC. The company leased Flair their planes and 777 took a 25% equity stake in the airline.'
