## Resource

Canada’s government is throwing down $76 million in emergency aid to Flair Airlines to help it survive soaring jet fuel prices — a move that could keep air travel affordable and competitive. The loan, offered through the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corp., comes with favorable terms and gives Flair four years to repay. It’s not just Flair — Air Transat already received $430 million since February’s Iran crisis sent fuel costs skyrocketing, and Porter Airlines snagged $125 million. With airlines struggling under volatile energy markets, this government intervention buys critical breathing room for Canada’s skies.
