On Oct. 29, in a message to the Prince George Airport Authority, the company says its temporarily stopping service in and out of YXS as 'adjustments to the fleet' are being made across its network.
The airline says the adjustments were to begin today (Nov. 10) with a goal of resuming service by Dec. 18.
"We apologize for the temporary reduction of service," says Flair Airlines, adding customers whose flights are being cancelled will be received a full refund.
Since March 27, passengers seated near a case of COVID-19 that was recognized after arrival are no longer being directly notified of their potential exposure, but are asked to check online and monitor their symptoms.
Flair Airlines said, in a statement, it hopes to restart flights out of Prince George by Dec. 18
