Air Canada Caps Fares in Response to Lynx Air Shutdown

DALLAS — Air Canada (AC) has announced measures in response to Lynx Air’s (Y9) decision to suspend operations starting February 26, 2024.

These measures include capping fares and adding over 6,000 seats in select markets operated by the Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC). The aim is to provide affordable options for Y9 customers affected by the shutdown, allowing them to return home or make alternative travel arrangements for their planned winter trips.

Fare Availability and Travel Period

The capped fares will be available for purchase before February 26, 2024, and can be used for travel through April 2. This covers the March Spring break and Easter holidays across Canada. Customers can purchase these flights through the AC website or travel agents.
