Friday Feb 16th, heading into a long weekend for most folks in Canada, was not only a bad day at 777 Partners, but also a messy day operationally for Flair....

....(Flair) OTP was 44.1%, with 9% of sectors incurring delays greater than 5 hours, including a YYZ-YWG r/t that ran 9 hrs late. If you were on one of Flair's 38 delayed flights yesterday, the average delay was 2hrs 12 mins.

There were at least a couple of OTP shenanigans where Flair recovery flights with new flight numbers that arrived hours after the original sched time were listed as arriving "on-time". Tsk Tsk.

Flair generated 1,025,219 asm's per tail on the day.
Lynx managed 963,312 asms with a near equal asl of 1,434 miles, utilization of 11hrs 11 mins and OTP of 59.4%
Porter's chronically under utilized fleet tapped out at just 454,030 asm's, an asl of 1,216, utilization of 7hrs 42 mins and OTP of 59.8%. That's easily the highest daily utilization we've seen for Porter so far in 2024. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that utilization dropped back to about 7hrs 10 mins today, (Saturday)....

I feel that Lynx's departure might increase fare prices on WS/AC/PD. With Flair being the sole Canadian ULCC now, they have their own market and I'm sure AC/WS/PD can battle it out as bigger players charging more than F8. When it was Y9 & F8, they are probably stealing more of the big player business hence they needed to compete for heavily, but now that its just F8, they might just leave em.
