History

The company was founded in 2012 in Montreal.[2]

In 2019, it had 5 million customers.[2]

In September 2019, Dennis Herrera, the city attorney of San Francisco sued the company over hidden fees and other predatory scams.[3] According to the suit, the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Transportation received more than 2,000 customer complaints about JustFly and FlightHub in two years — more than any other online travel site.[4]

In 2020, in part to deal with the lawsuit as well as a decline in travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company filed bankruptcy under Chapter 15, Title 11, United States Code.[5]
