About Lynx Air

Lynx air is a new airline based in the Canadian city of Calgary, Alberta. Although a new airline, it is actually a rebrand of a current one, Enerjet. Enerjet began operations in 2008 as it saw a gap in the market which was being underserved by both Air Canada and Westjet. The airline originally operated as a charter airline aiding with the transportation of oil workers across Alberta as well as a charter for tour and leisure operators. It was announced in noviembre 2021 that the airline was to rebrand the carrier and shift its business model. The airline has decided to adopt the Lynx Air branding and become an ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) aimed at travellers who don't frequently fly and who tend to use US airlines. Lynx will retire the current aircraft operated by Enerjet and has placed an order for 3 Boeing 737 max aircraft due to be delivered in 2022. Upon receiving the new aircraft, the airline intends to begin scheduled services. However, the proposed route map has not been disclosed by the airline as of yet.

Wifi & Entertainment

Lynx currently doesn't have the aircraft they intend to use within their fleet so it is unsure of the inflight entertainment offering. However, due to the airlines business model, it is expected that they will not provide any inflight entertainment, such as IFE screens. The airline may choose to install wifi onboard as an optional charge for passengers, however, this may be unlikely. An inflight magazine may be produced rolled out across their aircraft.
