The President and Chief Executive of Lynx Air, Merren McArthur is about to resign from the post for personal reasons. McArthur joined the airline in June 2021 and led the airline to its first flight launch in April 2022 following a successful first year of operations.
McArthur will continue in the role until the end of September, allowing time for the selection and appointment of a new CEO.
“I want to thank Merren for her significant contributions to Lynx Air over the past two years,” said Bill Franke, Chairman, Lynx Air’s board of directors. “Merren has overseen the strategy, launch and rapid growth of Lynx Air during one of the most challenging periods in aviation history. The airline has developed a strong brand within the Canadian market and is well positioned to continue offering ultra-low fares to its passengers.”
“I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to lead Lynx Air from the early planning phase to launch and beyond. I truly believe in Lynx Air’s vision to inspire more Canadians to fly, providing a great flying experience at an ultra-affordable price. It has been a great privilege to lead the talented team at Lynx Air, whose passion and commitment knows no bounds. Together they are transforming the Canadian aviation landscape forever,” McArthur added.
