    The Deer Lake Regional Airport Authority is welcoming a new route with Flair Airlines. Flights to Toronto with Flair Airlines will start May24th and will provide an opportunity for many to access services from Toronto Pearson Airport, in addition to Kitchener-Waterloo. Airport President and CEO Tammy Priddle says in December 2021, they announced a partnership to deliver twice weekly services to KitchenerWaterloo. She says Flair’s entrance in 2022 provided another option for affordable air service in our region. Priddle says this new route adds capacity to bring more people into the western region, allowing them the opportunity to experience the best that Newfoundland and Labrador has to offer. It also creates employment in our region, either directly at the Airport, or indirectly through restaurants, gas stations, accommodators, and tour operators. The Deer Lake Regional airport is the second busiest airport in this province. In 2019, the facility contributed $300 million in output, $100 million in GDP, 1400 jobs and $19 million in taxes.
