LYNX AIR ANNOUNCES MAJOR EXPANSION OUT OF HALIFAX

To celebrate, Lynx is launching a two-day 50 per cent off seat sale.

HALIFAX, NS, May 10, 2022 /CNW/ - At a press event in Halifax today, Lynx Air (Lynx) announced the addition of two Halifax routes to its network, creating links from Halifax to each of Calgary and Edmonton. These services are in addition to the previously announced services between Halifax and each of Hamilton and Toronto, which will commence on June 29, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

As of July 14, 2022, Lynx will commence five through-flights a week each way from Calgary to Halifax. On July 30, 2022, the airline will commence two through-flights a week each way from Edmonton to Halifax.  At that point, Lynx will be flying a total of 14 flights a week in and out of Halifax, which is more than 2,600 seats weekly.  The Edmonton and Calgary "through-flights" will operate via Toronto or Hamilton, providing a seamless service with a single boarding pass and the ability to check bags through to the final destination.  Fares to and from Halifax start from as low as $59.00* one way, including taxes.

Today's announcement comes just one day after Lynx announced an expansion of services to St John's.  The airline reported that the expansion of its Halifax and St. John's route network is in response to strong demand for flights to Atlantic Canada. 

The new Halifax flights are now on sale and to celebrate, Lynx is launching a limited time seat sale, offering up to 50 per cent off base fares on all Halifax routes.  The sale will run for 48-hours starting May 10, 2022, at 12 noon ADT and will end on May 12, 2022 at 11:59pm ADT.  For full sale details and to reserve a discounted seat, please visit FlyLynx.com.
