The current shakeup is in Hamilton where Flair Airlines announced that it will stop serving Hamilton. They made their decision shortly after Swoop announced that it will fly out of Hamilton. Flair has been around for a while but they are not ready to take on Swoop's parent company, WestJet. Yet, foolishly, Jetlines is still planning on using Hamilton with just one jet. And they plan on offering the same flights as Swoop.
I'm hoping that Chris Wood, General Manager at YKF, is in contact with Flair to promote our underserviced airport.
Flair is shifting the domestic flights from YHM to YYZ. I agree that JetLines, if it ever flies, will have no chance to succeed at YHM if it is in direct competition with Swoop.
