Eight more airports to get internation flights by month end

Edmonton-based budget carrier Flair Airlines is welcoming Ottawa's decision to allow international air traffic to return to eight more airports at the end of the month.

The airline says it's eager to offer flights to those wanting toenjoy some sun this fall and winter. Airports in Regina and Saskatoon are among those in mid-size communities that will join 10 others already handling international flights, including Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary.

Transport Canada says it's able to ease a ban imposed in February thanks to higher COVID-19 vaccination levels and strict vaccine travel requirements that will be fully phased in by November 30th.
