CALGARY – Lynx Air says president and CEO Merren McArthur is stepping down for personal reasons.

The Calgary-based ******* says its founding CEO will continue in the role until the end of September to allow time to find her replacement.

Lynx Air says McArthur led the ******* to its first flight launch in April 2022, and through a successful first year of operations.

Board chair Bill Franke says in a press release that McArthur saw the *******’s launch and rapid growth during one of the most challenging periods in aviation history.

McArthur says it has been a great privilege to lead at Lynx Air, but that it’s time for her to return to her family in Australia.

The budget ******* has been expanding, announcing two new routes for the summer earlier this year.
