🔔 We are thrilled to announce that we've hired a new Chief Financial Officer, Sumanth Rao! “After a comprehensive recruitment process, I’m pleased to announce that Flair has hired an accomplished senior leader in aviation finance, Sumanth Rao,” announced Maciej Wilk, CEO of Flair Airlines. “His wealth of experience and proven track record in the aviation industry marks a significant step in Flair's ongoing journey toward a stronger future for our customers, employees, partners, and shareholders.”    Sumanth joins Flair after a 16-year career at Delta Air Lines, serving in a variety of senior finance roles. He was most recently the CFO of Delta Vacations since 2022, where his leadership was instrumental in driving consistent profitable growth.  In his previous roles at Delta Air Lines, he has managed budgets exceeding $4B annually and led the airports team through a particularly challenging period during the Covid-19 pandemic.   ✈ Welcome, Sumanth! #FlyFlair #CanadianAviation More info: https://lnkd.in/gYQ46S_H

Hi Mr. Wilk and Team Flair, It has been more than three weeks no one from your support team has got back to my complaint. I have got two incident numbers for the same complaint but no one tried getting in touch. Seems like you need to hire more support staff as well. Like always Flair has maintained its poor customer service and great business model of minting money from innocent customer by cancelling their advance booked tickets, and getting them to rebook same tickets at a higher price, and just offering credit for seats and not baggage, even though there is no mistake of the customers. We are not surprised because at the end of the day that is the best thing Flair can do to be able to accumalate money to pay for the unpaid taxes to CRA. Don’t think this would bother you much but I will try to use as many platforms and course of action as I can to be able to atleast be heard. Thanks!

This airline stole my money because they wouldn't provide a refund when I have serious medical issues. Even if they kept a portion and refunded the rest I would have accepted that, but to not refund me a single cent having medical proof that I cannot fly is ridiculous. 😡
