FutureHeartsJunkie Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Very surprised that no one hasn't posted any information about this new airline called "Lynx Air". This new airline was formerly known as "Enerjet". Anyhoo, this new airline will commence operations this April 2022 and the first Canadian cities that will be seriving at launch time are YYC (Calgary),YLW (Kelowna), YVR (Vancouver, BC), YWG (Winnipeg) and YYZ (Toronto). As for the aircraft, they will operate the Boeing 737 MAX 8. The airline's goal is to compete with the other airlines such as Flair Airlines and Swoop (in the ultra low-cost category) but will compete against the big players like Air Canada and Westjet.

Greatcoinz Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Flew with them on June 11th from YYC-YVR on Tail #803, C-FULH. Their newest aircraft currently. I bought the plane ticket only a week before my departure and even with paying to bring my carry-on on board and a preferred seat, I only paid $108 including taxes. The flight itself was alright. Left on time and got there on time which is all what matters. They only serve water on the flight. Bring snacks, a portable charger / power bank for your electronic devices and something you to keep you occupied as there is no entertainment or WiFi on board. In all I would fly with them again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureHeartsJunkie Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Lynx has announced plans to offer service to YHM airport for the service to YVR next month: https://globalnews.ca/news/9572764/airline-lynx-summer-service-hamilton-vancouver/ In the article I had read, it's unclear if the YHM-YVR route will operate as a non-stop service or as a through service via YYC..

FutureHeartsJunkie Posted June 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Lynx continues to expand: the airline has recently launched service from Montreal-Trudeau Airport (YUL) in Montreal, QC to St. John's, NL (YYT) Additionally, the airline has started a new route: YUL-YYC. https://vocm.com/2023/06/05/lynx-air-launches-new-direct-affordable-flight-from-yyt-to-montreal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAmissions1 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Lynx is adding three additional routes in the next few months. Toronto to Los Angeles effective August 24th: 5x weekly Montreal to Las Vegas effective August 31st: 4x weekly Toronto to Phoenix effective October 12th: 3x weekly Final comments: Will be interesting how Toronto to Los Angeles will workout since the first flight is around 8 AM in the morning. Providing an alternative to Air Canada when Westjet suspends their direct flights to Los Angeles from Toronto starting in October and resuming in late April.

GTAmissions1 Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 Lynx Airlines is expanding to Ottawa with routes between Vancouver and Calgary effective May 17, 2024. https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ultra-low-cost-lynx-air-coming-to-ottawa-this-spring-1.6672275 The Vancouver to Ottawa route will have a short stop in Calgary, but those who are continuing to Ottawa simply stay on-board the plane. Both Ottawa to Vancouver and Calgary will operate 4 days/week with Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday including return trip back to Ottawa. Final comments: Lynx is really adding more domestic coverage for an ultra-low cost airline. Especially with the competition between both Air Canada and Westjet. EDIT: No longer happening because Lynx Airlines has ceased operations effective February 25th. Original post will still be retained, but this is no longer happening.

Nick B Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Was sadly informed through industry contacts today that Lynx Air will cease to exist as of end of day this Sunday, February 25th, 2024, with assets sold and leases cancelled. Finances cited as the reason in an emergency pilot town hall meeting held earlier this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with how aviation industry in Canada can be difficult to compete in without understanding the risks and challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if WestJet or Flair are expecting any this year. They may recieve the Lynx units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect a leasee to pay full lease amount for used planes at the same price as new planes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planes aren't cars, the price is driven by a completely different set of factors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yrt1000 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 The whole situation seems pretty shitty for passengers. Sure those who paid by credit cards can get their money back, but not sure about debit cards. Plus then having to scramble and pay for new flights (probably at a much higher cost), there certainly don’t seem to be much of a protection for those affected by the shutdown. Meanwhile the executives and don’t really face any repercussions I flew on them once about a year ago from Halifax to Toronto. Nothing to really complain about during it, it was fine for a 2.5 hour flight. I just hope Flair doesn’t suffer the same fate, given the failures of pretty much every other discount airline that tries to operate in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
