WestJet is launching a regional air service that will connect Calgary to five small cities in B.C. and Alberta with year-round, daily flights, the airline announced Friday.Â
WestJet Link will use aircraft from Pacific Coastal Airlines — painted in WestJet colours — through a capacity purchase agreement to connect Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Medicine Hat, Cranbrook and Prince George with the Calgary International Airport.Â
Pacific Coastal is a private airline based out of the Vancouver International Airport’s south terminal. It flies to 50 destinations around B.C.
“This new partnership between WestJet and Pacific Coastal will allow smaller communities within Alberta and British Columbia to take advantage of YYC’s extensive route network,” said
