Lynx Air has announced the expansion of its U.S. network by adding non-stop flights from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Montreal Pierre Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Tampa International Airport (TPA).
Beginning on 16NOV and 17NOV, Lynx will operate four weekly services each from YYZ and YUL to TPA. The fares for these routes start from CAD $115 one way, inclusive of taxes.
“Tampa International Airport is proud to offer more travel options from Toronto and Montreal with our new airline partner Lynx Air, the first Canadian carrier to launch new service to TPA since the pandemic," said TPA CEO Joe Lopano. "Our community is closely linked with our Canadian neighbours, who are the largest source of international visitation."
This expansion complements Lynx existing service from YYZ and YUL to Orlando International Airport (MCO), announced earlier this year, as Open Jaw reported. By the end of fall, Lynx will offer a total of 66 weekly services to and from Florida, connecting YYZ, YUL, YYC, and YVR.
"We are thrilled to connect sun-seekers from Ontario and Quebec to Tampa Bay,” said Merren McArthur, CEO of Lynx Air. “Today’s announcement represents a significant expansion of our footprint in Florida.”
