The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Edmonton-based Flair Airlines has reached a 15-year agreement to have its plane engines serviced by Lufthansa Technik in Calgary, bringing home jobs that were performed in the United States and elsewhere. The Globe's Eric Atkins writes that German's Lufthansa Technik will provide the majority of maintenance and digital services for Flair's 18 Boeing 737s that use Leap engines. Flair's 737 Max 8 planes are currently serviced at Lufthansa's facility in Tulsa, Okla. Lufthansa opened its repair facility at Calgary's airport in 2025 and employs 80 people. It is expanding the shop, building a larger, $120-million, 14,000-square-metre facility that will service a range of engines and house Canada's first test cell -- specialized equipment for work on the latest jet engines -- by next year. It will employ about 160 people by 2030, said Lufthansa, which operates service facilities around the world. The company's main client in Calgary is WestJet Airlines. The new repair facility was funded in part with $18-million from federal, Alberta and Calgary governments. The service includes analytics that combine aircraft data, engineering, digital records and asset management.
