The company already offers three weekly services (available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays) between Fredericton and Calgary with a brief stopover of about an hour in Toronto. However, Lynx Air noted that passengers can start and complete their journey with a single boarding pass, checking their baggage through to the final destination and remaining on board for the duration of the stopover.
As of the launch of the new services, the airline has a network of 16 destinations in North America, to which it operates with its seven Boeing 737 MAX 8, configured with 189 seats in a single class.
