Low-cost carrier Lynx Air, headquartered in Calgary, announced an expansion of its Montreal network, with the introduction of services between Montreal and Vancouver beginning June 23, 2023.
Lynx will offer six flights per week between Montreal Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The airline recently announced services from Montreal to Calgary and St John’s scheduled to begin on June 5, 2023. With the addition of Vancouver services, the airline will be operating more than 6,400 seats to and from Montreal.
Lynx states airfares for the route start at $69 (for a limited time) for one-way Montreal to/from Vancouver.
“Vancouver and Montreal are two of Canada’s most iconic tourism destinations, with their rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes. We are thrilled to provide an ultra-affordable option to connect these two beautiful cities,” said Merren McArthur, CEO of Lynx. “Historically Montreal and Quebec have been under-served by low-cost carriers, and Lynx Air aims to change that.”
Today’s announcement represents a continuation of Lynx Air’s network ramp-up, as the airline prepares to expand its fleet to nine brand new Boeing 737 aircraft over the coming months. By Summer 2023, Lynx plans to serve 16 destinations across North America with more than 240 flights per week, which equates to over 45,000 seats.
