A new airline is available to Manitobans and it’s promising ultra-affordable fares.

As of Tuesday, Lynx Air is adding the Winnipeg International Airport to its network with frequent flights to Calgary and Vancouver.

In May, the airline will fly to and from Toronto.

“We’re excited to be included as part of Lynx’s first group of destinations,” said Nick Hays, president and CEO of Winnipeg Airports Authority. “People tell us they’re ready to explore the world again, re-connect with loved ones and return to the places they love to visit. Thanks to Lynx Air, our region now has another low-cost option to do all these things.”

Whether you are traveling to catch up with friends and family or to discover the inspiring art, music and history of Winnipeg, Lynx will ensure a great flying experience at an ultra-affordable price.”
