Canada's Flair Airlines has "brought four additional planes into service" after reporting "service disruptions" at four airports on March 12.
On March 13, the carrier said it had resumed "normal operations" after adding the four aircraft to the number in service, after in turn four of its aircraft were said to have been seized over an alleged payment dispute.
"Flair Airlines is aware of extreme and unusual actions taken by a New York-based hedge fund and lessor of certain Flair Airlines aircraft. This is a commercial dispute, which has impacted four of Flair Airlines’ aircraft. The airline is aggrieved by this unprecedented action," the carrier said in a statement.
"There are airlines that don’t want Flair to exist. But Flair will fly. And we will thrive. The airline will continue to deliver the lowest fares on offer to Canadians," said Stephen Jones, the airline's chief executive.
The carrier said earlier that customers affected by the March 12 disruption would "receive an update that we have enlisted a dedicated team to support them rebook their flights with Flair, or another airline, at no additional cost".
