Canada’s ultra-low-cost-airline will operate three services a week from Fredericton to Toronto and Calgary. The Fredericton - Calgary flights will operate as “through flights” with a short stop in Toronto, offering a seamless journey, with a single boarding pass, bags checked through to the final destination, and no need to deplane in Toronto.
This week's Fredericton flight comes just one week after Lynx’s inaugural Montreal flights to St. John’s and Calgary, representing a continued expansion of the airline’s footprint throughout Eastern Canada. Lynx launched its first flight just over a year ago and now serves 16 destinations across North America with seven brand-new Boeing 737 aircraft. The airline plans to grow its fleet to 10 aircraft by the end of 2023 and has firm orders in place for an additional 36 aircraft.
“We are thrilled to be the first low-fare airline to provide air service to Fredericton, New Brunswick’s most central airport. We know there are strong connections between the communities of New Brunswick, Ontario and Alberta and we are proud to offer ultra-affordable links to connect them,” said Merren McArthur, CEO of Lynx Air. “The province of New Brunswick is a bucket list destination for many Canadians and they now have an affordable option to visit this beautiful region. Whether you are travelling to visit friends and family, or exploring the stunning Saint John River Valley, Lynx will ensure a great flying experience at an ultra-affordable price.”
“Demand for travel is stronger than ever, and we’re delighted to bring a new airline and a new destination to the Fredericton International Airport. This flight opens up new tourism opportunities, enables families to reconnect, and makes it easier than ever for business travellers to connect to new markets. We’re a growing airport and Lynx Air, with its experienced management team and on-time track record, is an excellent ultra-low-cost option allowing additional traffic to and from our region,” says Johanne Gallant, President and CEO of the Fredericton International Airport Authority.
