“We are excited to be adding Quebec City to our rapidly expanding network,” said Vijay Bathija, Chief Commercial Officer of Lynx. “Our strategy is to fly to destinations where airfares are high, and low-cost options are limited, and Quebec City, the capital city of Quebec, will be another opportunity for Lynx to expand in the east and serve these high fare markets. By offering ultra-affordable fares, we aim to inspire more Canadians to travel to see their favourite people and explore new places.”
“We're very pleased to be part of Lynx's expanding network, starting next summer. People in Québec City and throughout the eastern part of the province will be able to take advantage of new options for visiting Calgary and Vancouver, two popular destinations in Western Canada. The addition of affordable flights to the Lynx network is directly in line with our objective of offering even more options to local travellers, as well as being a direct gateway for tourists to the magnificent Québec City region,” says Stéphane Poirier, President and CEO of Québec City Jean-Lesage International Airport.
“Quebec City offers travellers an exciting opportunity to connect with Quebec’s rich culture and deep history, and we are excited to welcome this new route from Lynx Air to YYC and offer Albertans another option to travel to one of Canada’s most sought after destinations,” says Chris Miles, Chief Operating Officer at The Calgary Airport Authority. “As Lynx’s rapid expansion across Canada continues, we are proud to be an integral part of its operation and continue working together to provide exceptional experiences for our guests.”
