“Adding Boston and San Francisco to our ever-expanding network is a significant milestone for our airline,” Lynx Chief Commercial Officer Vijay Bathija said, calling its flights “an ultra-affordable link.” 

“Our strategy is to fly to destinations where airfares are historically high, and low-cost options are limited,” Bathija added. “By offering ultra-affordable fares, we aim to inspire more Canadians to travel to see their favorite people and places.”
