Vancouver, B.C. | July 8, 2025 – It’s official: after a year of leading Flair Airlines as an interim through growth, grit, and major transformation, Maciej Wilk has been named CEO.

“People kept asking if we were still looking. The truth is, we had looked — and it turned out our best candidate was already doing the job,” said Jim Young, Chair of Flair Airlines’ Board. “Maciej has spent the past year steering through weather disruptions, organizational shifts, and economic headwinds, all while sharpening our focus on reliability, affordability, and performance.”

Under Maciej’s leadership, Flair introduced Canada’s first On-Time Guarantee (OTG), launched the Flair FWD transformation to signal a new chapter in customer experience, and solidified its reputation as Canada’s most reliable airline. He also contributed critical insights to the federal Competition Bureau’s Airline Market Study, reinforcing Flair’s voice in shaping the future of air travel in Canada.

“I’m thrilled to make it official,” said Wilk. “The title may be new, but the work and the mission haven’t changed. I believe in Flair, and I believe Canadians deserve air travel that’s efficient, accountable, and affordable for all. The past 12 months prove that it can be done, and we’re just getting started.”

“Maciej didn’t just steady the aircraft; he helped it climb,” added Jim Young, Flair’s Board President. “He’s got the vision, the grit, and the relentless focus on doing better that this airline and this country need in a leader.”
So yes, we have a CEO. And no, we’re not looking, because the right person has been steering the course all along.
