Looks like it also fills a nice hole in Air Canada's schedule. Will be good for those taking evening international flights out of Toronto.

Great news for YXE. Bummed that they didn’t just announce YQR at the same time. I really want to fly Porter for my YQR summer flights.

Just saw a note to Lynx employees that the airline will cease operations as of Sunday Feb 25. There was a rumour about a Flair/Lynx merger to be announced this week but I guess that did not pan out.

I just realised with Lynx's demise, that YQR is only served by two airlines: Air Canada and WestJet (I don't count Sunwing as it's basically WS at this point). A duopoly. They must be loving it, but what about passengers? I wonder if this has an effect on increased pricing for routes flown out of YQR.
