## Resource

Flair Airlines is in hot water after missing rent payments and losing four planes to repossession, facing a $30M lawsuit — but the Canadian government just dumped $76M in emergency aid to keep it flying. The loan, at below-market interest and repayable in four years, aims to stabilize the airline amid skyrocketing jet fuel costs that are crushing carriers across the board. Flair’s CEO calls it a lifeline to maintain competitive air travel, while others like Air Transat and Porter also got similar boosts — signaling a turbulent industry-wide scramble for survival.
