First Lynx Air flight from Edmonton takes off New low-cost carrier Lynx Air saw its inaugural flight from Edmonton take off the morning of July 14, 2022.

Another budget airline is coming to Montreal, with Lynx Air set to add the Pierre-Elliott Trudeau Airport to its network this summer.

On Wednesday, the Alberta-based company announced it would fly in and out of Montreal beginning on June 5, 2023.

But for travel-hungry Montrealers hoping to jet off to faraway lands, Lynx Air isn't the best option; for now, the airline will only fly from Montreal to St. John's N.L. and Calgary, Alta.

“We are pleased to offer an ultra-affordable option to connect Montreal and Quebec to the rest of Canada," said Lynx CEO Merren McArthur in a press release.

To promote this new development, Lynx launched a limited-time seat sale with up to 50 per cent off to and from Montreal.

Flair Airlines was the only other ultra-low-cost carrier serving Montreal, which came to the city in 2021.
