Canadian low-cost carrier (LCC) Flair Airlines is set to launch a ticket resale service, the first of its kind in North American aviation.
The platform is powered by French startup Fairlyne, who already partner with Royal Air Maroc and Transavia on similar services. Through their technology, passengers holding non-refundable tickets can sell them to another passenger and receive a Flair voucher in exchange.
Maciej Wilk, CEO of Flair Airlines, said:
This service is about giving passengers a better experience — even when they can’t travel. It’s a smart solution that offers more flexibility while optimising our operations.
The initiative is part of the LCC’s Flair FWD strategy, which aims to strengthen Flair’s position in the Canadian market while consolidating its reputation for fair, fuss-free travel. Other strategies launched under the Flair FWD banner include AI-enhanced omnichannel customer communications, and the package holiday service Flair Vacations.
Presenting the project as a ‘win-win’ for passengers and the airline, the resale platform will launch in the coming weeks. Gilles de Richemond, CEO of Fairlyne, commented:
We’re helping airlines introduce a new level of customer service and flexibility, while maintaining complete control. It’s a customer-first approach that addresses a long-standing frustration.
Join us at Aviation Festival Americas 2026, where Flair CEO Maciej Wilk will be on-stage for an exclusive keynote interview and CEO panel.
