As of late 2024 and early 2025, Lynx Air ceased all operations and filed for creditor protection, so it no longer operates any aircraft. Before its shutdown, Lynx Air—a Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier based in Calgary—did exclusively use the Boeing 737 MAX 8 as the backbone of its fleet. The airline launched with a strategy built around the fuel efficiency and long-range capabilities of the MAX 8, which allowed them to fly routes across Canada and into the United States with lower overhead costs. At its peak, the airline had nine 737 MAX 8 aircraft in service and had dozens more on order from Boeing. The decision to use a single-type, modern fleet was intended to simplify maintenance and pilot training, a common "ULCC" tactic used by airlines like Southwest and Ryanair. However, despite the modern fleet and competitive pricing, the airline struggled with the high-cost environment of the Canadian aviation market. Today, the 737 MAX aircraft formerly used by Lynx have been returned to lessors or integrated into the fleets of other growing airlines looking for modern, narrow-body capacity.
