YLW welcomes Lynx Air to Kelowna

Lynx Air (Lynx) will begin service for YLW Kelowna International Airport in April 2022 with non-stop service to Calgary and Vancouver twice a week on a fleet of brand-new Boeing 737 aircraft.

Lynx launched in November 2021 with the ultra low-cost carrier model which has revolutionized air travel across Europe and the United States by offering low fares, flexibility, and choice. The airline has selected Calgary as its headquarters. Lynx announced the launch of its booking website, with tickets going on sale for flights to the airline’s first five destinations: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Kelowna, and Winnipeg.

An affordable airline like Lynx will open doors for travellers looking to explore our beautiful region and increase travel opportunities for the Okanagan community. Special launch fares are offered from $39 one-way (limited time).

By May, Lynx will be operating 76 flights per week and will continue to add destinations and routes in the summer.

Lynx will compete directly with Flair Airlines and Swoop in the ultra-low-fare market, giving travellers three low-cost options out of Kelowna. Alaska Airlines recently announced they will be doubling the number of flights from Kelowna to Seattle starting in March 2022.
