Tickets for flights aboard Lynx Air went on sale for the first time on Wednesday.
The airline is serving five destinations including Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Kelowna and Winnipeg – and says there are more to come.
Lynx’s inaugural flight will take to the skies on April 7, traveling from Calgary to Vancouver.
The airline says it will offer daily flights between the two cities, increasing to twice daily flights on May 20.

Flights from Calgary to Winnipeg will increase to four per week on May 5.
"By May, Lynx will be operating 76 flights per week – and that is just the beginning," said CEO Merren McArthur in a news release.
"We will continue to add destinations and routes as we ramp up for the busy summer season, offering even more choice and flexibility to Canadians.
"Stay tuned for more announcements soon.”
