“After the success of our flights to Halifax and St. John’s from Toronto and Montreal, connecting the two cities was the natural next step,” said Vijay Bathija, Chief Commercial Officer of Lynx. “There are strong connections between the communities of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, and we are proud to offer an ultra-affordable link to connect them. Our strategy is to fly to destinations where airfares are too high, and low-cost options are limited. By offering ultra-affordable fares, we aim to inspire more Canadians to travel to see their favourite people and places and all those destinations have to offer.”
“We’re excited Lynx Air is adding another non-stop route at Halifax Stanfield next summer,” said Marie Manning, Vice President Business Development and Chief Commercial Officer, Halifax International Airport Authority. “Demand for flights between St. John’s and Halifax is incredibly high and this new service provides an additional option for passengers that will further promote travel between these cities.
