As of June 29, Lynx will increase its service to Calgary to three flights per week, taking the airline's total flights in and out of Kelowna to 10 flights and 1,890 seats per week. As part of Lynx's commitment to making air travel affordable for all Canadians, the airline is offering fares as low as $39* to and from Kelowna.

The airline operates a fleet of brand-new, fuel-efficient Boeing 737 aircraft and plans to grow its fleet to more than 46 aircraft over the next five to seven years.

To commemorate Lynx's growing presence in Kelowna, the airline has launched a limited-time seat sale and is offering up to 50 per cent off all base fares to and from Kelowna.  The sale will run from May 2 and will end on May 4 at 10:59 PST.  For full sale details, and to reserve discounted seats, please visit FlyLynx.com.

"We are so happy to be able to welcome Lynx Air to YLW and provide our passengers with more options when flying out of Kelowna," says Sam Samaddar, Kelowna Airport Director.
