They’ve been around for a while but Flair Airlines is fairly new to Toronto Pearson. They’re certainly new to daytime arrival slots. We photographed C-FLHJ on August 25, 2019 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). This Boeing 737-400 is the first aircraft from this airline to be featured at the site.

C-FLHJ
C-FLHJ performed its first flight on May 7, 1993. The Boeing 737-4Q8 was first delivered to Alaska Airlines on May 21, 1993 as N771AS. After being stored in December, 2013, the B734 was delivered to Flair Airlines on August 27, 2014.
The airliner is configured for a maximum total of 144 passengers. There are 12 seats in first class and 132 economy class seats. This is one of seven Boeing 737-400 models currently in the fleet with four to be phased out by the end of 2019.
Back with Alaska Airlines, N771AS had some problems back on December 20, 2008. on a flight from Sitka to Juneau in Alaska, the pilot became nauseated just after departure. It turns out, ground personnel placed operating equipment too close to the external heating unit’s intake. This resulted in contamination of the airplane’s cabin with carbon monoxide.
With Flair Airlines, C-FLHJ was flying from Vancouver, British Columbia to Edmonton, Alberta. On the climb, the aircraft experienced severe turbulence that caused the plane to pitch by 20 degrees and roll 45 degrees to the right. The airliner was stabilized but continued to experience turbulence before landing safely in Edmonton. As a result, there were no injuries but 14 passengers experienced a bit of air sickness.
