FlightNetwork.com, one of Canada’s highest volume online travel sales sites, recently announced a new plan aimed at helping Canadian job seekers land jobs in other cities or provinces by assisting with the cost of their airfare.

The FlightNetwork.com Job Fare Program offers any Canadian job seeker who is attending an interview requiring air travel $100 off of his or her flight. Flight Network is challenging other Canadian businesses to follow suit and offer similar breaks to job seekers.

“Record Canadian job losses have just been announced and no one can deny that 2009 has been a tough year for Canadians and their families,” says Naman Budhdeo, President and CEO of FlightNetwork.com. “At FlightNetwork.com, we appreciate that families are struggling to make ends meet and stretching every dollar. Our Job Fare Plan is designed to help Canadians travelling to a job interview by helping with the costs of air travel. We would like to challenge other Canadian companies to follow suit and do what they can, because everyone deserves a break.”

FlightNetwork.com also announced the Job Guarantee Plan, designed to allow clients peace of mind while booking family vacations. Any family booking a flight or vacation package through FightNetwork.com can receive a full refund if they involuntarily lose their job.

“In order for our economy to recover, Canadians need to get back to business as usual and go out to dinner, buy electronics and take vacations,” adds Budhdeo. “The Job Guarantee Plan allows Canadians to do just that without fear of paying for a vacation if they are laid off.”
