If you have a flight booked through Lynx Air, you’re about to be out of luck.
The Calgary-based, low-cost carrier has filed for creditor protection and will shut down on Monday.
In a statement they say they have faced significant hurdles including “rising operating costs, high fuel prices, exchange rates, increasing airport charges and a difficult economic and regulatory environment.”
The airline says challenges facing the company’s business have become “too significant to overcome.”
They have offered to help out.
