Flair Vacations Taps IBS Software for Caribbean, Mexico Hotel Supply

Edmonton – October 15, 2026 -- Flair Vacations LP, the new vacation package unit of Canadian carrier Flair Airlines, has signed a distribution agreement with IBS Software to source hotel rooms across the Caribbean and Mexico through the iStay Gateway platform, ahead of a package launch for the Canadian winter season in November 2026.

Flair Vacations connects to hotel inventory through a single iStay Gateway integration

The deal gives Flair Vacations one technical connection to a distribution network that already serves established airline vacation brands. That removes the need to build and maintain individual supply integrations. iStay Gateway handles rate and availability distribution, booking and content delivery, leaving the Flair Vacations team to focus on packaging, pricing and selling.
