Canada's cheapest Lynx Air is going to be closed

Lynx Air, known as Canada's cheapest airline, is closing down. The company has suddenly announced that it will stop operations from midnight on Monday, February 26.

The management cited all the reasons behind this major decision including inflation, fuel cost and inability to compete. Lynx Air says it will try to operate as many flights as possible through the week to get as many passengers to their destinations as possible.

The airline said that if a flight is cancelled, passengers will be notified via e-mail. Meanwhile, passengers whose flight tickets are on or after February 26 have been advised to contact their credit card companies for refunds. Calgary-based Lynx Air began its first flight in April 2022.

WestJet has offered a fare discount of up to 25 per cent to passengers affected by the sudden closure of Lynx Air. Domestic fares on non-stop routes served by Lynx will not exceed $500 till February 29, the airline said.
