On June 23, Lynx Air completed its inaugural flight from Montréal Pierre Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), expanding the ultra-low cost airline’s reach in Canada’s second-largest city.
With this new route, Lynx now operates services to three popular Canadian destinations, including Calgary and St. John’s.
Expanding Lynx’s Footprint in Montréal
Lynx’s decision to establish a presence in Montréal reflects its commitment to addressing the underserved low-cost carrier market in Quebec.
By offering affordable flights from Montréal, Lynx aims to make air travel more accessible to the residents of Quebec.
The airline currently operates twelve services a week between Montréal and Vancouver, resulting in a total of 26 flights weekly to and from Montréal.
This increased frequency equates to over 4,900 available seats for passengers seeking affordable air travel options.
Merren McArthur, CEO of Lynx Air, expressed her excitement about the airline’s expansion, stating, “We are thrilled to be adding Vancouver to our Montréal network today, following the successful launch of our Montréal services to St. John’s and Calgary earlier this month.”
“Residents of Quebec now have an affordable option to fly to three popular Canadian destinations.”
