Kelowna International Airport welcomed Lynx Air CEO Merren McArthur for an official ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday (May 2) to celebrate Lynx's launch of services to Kelowna.
Lynx is currently operating two flights a week from Kelowna to each of Calgary and Vancouver.
As of June 29, Lynx will increase its service to Calgary to three flights per week, taking the airline's total flights in and out of Kelowna to 10 flights and 1,890 seats per week.
As part of Lynx's commitment to making air travel affordable for all Canadians, the airline is offering fares as low as $39 to and from Kelowna.

Lynx took to the skies just over three weeks ago and has been rapidly expanding its network since.
Canadians can now book flights to 10 destinations coast to coast across Canada including Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, Halifax, and St. John's.
The airline operates a fleet of brand-new, fuel-efficient Boeing 737 aircraft and plans to grow its fleet to more than 46 aircraft over the next five to seven years.

To commemorate Lynx's growing presence in Kelowna, the airline has launched a limited-time seat sale and is offering up to 50 per cent off all base fares to and from Kelowna.
The sale will run from May 2 and will end on May 4 at 10:59 PST.
"We are proud to be the airline that links Canadians to wonderful destinations like Kelowna," said McArthur." "Whether you are traveling to catch up with friends and family, or to experience the natural beauty of the Okanagan region, Lynx will ensure a great flying experience for an affordable price."
"We are so happy to be able to welcome Lynx Air to YLW and provide our passengers with more options when flying out of Kelowna," added Sam Samaddar, Kelowna Airport Director. "I am pleased to see that Lynx is already expanding their service offerings to Calgary, which is one of our most popular routes."
