They tried a whole bunch of US routes a few years before the pandemic but axed all of them. Most of them didn’t make money, the few that were worth it (Edmonton-Orlando/St Pete if I remember correctly) ended up being cancelled since they were operated with a wet-leased aircraft from Smartwings who ended the lease agreement early due to the MAX grounding. Flair was just a bit too small at the time and couldn’t compete with AC Rouge/Swoop.
Seeing as Flair has a much larger domestic network and fleet now, perhaps now is the right time to have MIA/USA a shot.

Don’t be surprised if you see Swoop trying this market out too.

Possibly, but seeing as they’ve just announced SFB and PIE, they’d most likely end up at FLL if they want to serve Miami.

The Hollywood area has been a favorite destination for Francophone Canadians for many years. As a kid it was my first exposure to seeing speedo/bikini style swimwear on men as they dress more European in terms of style, especially the older crowd back then in the 80s.
Hollywood is immediately to the south of the airport, so Miami makes a good complimentary destination, and picks up the traffic that isn't headed to Hollywood.

Flights to Miami/South Florida cater to the Canadian migrant population. Montreal has maintained service to Fort Lauderdale through the entire pandemic without interruption. And the border is open to tourists, just Canada has very strict rules upon return.
