Flight Operations Training Administrator

Flair Airlines Ltd.

Flair Airlines is Canada’s only independent low fare airline. Headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, our mission is to change the lives of Canadians by making air travel truly affordable and get them off of their couches, out of their cars and into the air! As important as our low fares are, we also recognize that our real product is our people – it’s the way we treat our customers on each and every flight that sets us apart from “those other airlines” and keeps them coming back.

We are seeking strong team members who will help drive the airline’s expansion. Flair currently has a fleet of seven Boeing 737-400’s but that number is going to more than double within the next two years. This starts in the next few months with the introduction of B737-800NG equipment. This summer we flew to 10 domestic points from Victoria to Halifax and this winter we are introducing six seasonal trans-border destinations. We are on track to carry close to a million passengers this year.

Based in Edmonton, the Flight Operations Training Administrator will have a number of important responsibilities within the Flight Operations department, plus will provide a high level of administrative support to the Director of Flight Operations, the Chief Pilot, Manager of Training and Standards and the Flight Attendant Manager.
