Authorities for the Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Halifax and Winnipeg airports are asking for an order instructing Lynx to hand over airport improvement fees that the airline held in reserve
Airport s are knocking on Lynx Air’s cabin door to demand $4.1 million in unpaid fees and debt from the defunct discount carrier, which already faces more than $200 million in claims from creditors.
The documents show Calgary is owed the most, with the airport claiming to be out of pocket $2 million after the carrier shut down in February. The Calgary-based carrier, which launched its first flight in April 2022, said in earlier filings that airport charges, rising costs and “a competitive aviation landscape have proved disastrous” for the airline.
The shutdown marks another step toward airline market consolidation over the past year, raising the likelihood of higher fares and fewer flight options.
