“As a major airport and entry way to Canada, it’s important to have a high degree of connectivity across the country for Canadians and international travelers looking to discover new places and experiences,” said Kurush Minocher, Executive Director, Customer Experience and Airline Relationships, Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “Last year, approximately 20,000 passengers connected between Toronto and Regina. The addition of Lynx’s service will provide passengers with a new, low-cost, non-stop option for travel to Saskatchewan’s capital.”
