Originally set to begin service in May 2007, it launched in September using Horizon, ExpressJet and Republic to provide service until it gained its type certificate in Dec-2007 and begun operating under its own operating certificate.

In Jan-2011, Republic Airways Holdings, Inc announced that it had reversed an earlier decision to close Lynx Aviation, and stated it would continue Lynx services with Q400s indefinitely.
