Flair Airlines has filed a $50-million lawsuit against several plane-leasing companies over the 'unlawful' seizure of four of its aircraft over the weekend.

, at 3 a.m. EDT to confiscate the registration certificate and technical logs on board — the aviation equivalent of taking the car keys — the company said.The airline also claims the lessors — Columba Lights Aviation Ltd., Corvus Lights Aviation Ltd., and MAM Aircraft Leasing 4, all based in Ireland — carried out the seizures despite having made no objection to an arrangement put forward by Flair last Friday to initiate payment earlier this week.

In February or early March, the defendants "secretly co-ordinated and agreed to sell or lease" the planes to a company Flair has dubbed ABC Corp., the Edmonton-based airline alleges. "The identity of ABC Corp. is known to the defendants, but is not known to Flair as at the time this statement of claim was issued."

Flying FlairAirlines for the second time, cant wait! They were fantastic the first time. I've been a flight attendant for a few airlines over the years and been in the travel industry for over 19 years. Flair is great, they are needed in this industry, Canada needs options. Hope their lawyers demanded a retainer up front 😆 Well I guess deadbeat Flair should have paid it's bills on time!
