Flair Airlines CEO Len Corrado says the airline is under serious strain from sky-high jet fuel prices. He links the pressure to the high cost of operating flights and indicates that it is affecting the carrier’s planning decisions.

Corrado’s comments come as Flair adjusts course from a recent approach that targeted business travellers and included a focus on routes to the United States. The outlets reporting on his remarks frame the airline’s near-term strategy as being influenced by fuel costs, though neither provides detailed financial figures or specific route changes in the material provided.
