WestJet has resumed its non-stop service between Edmonton International Airport and Kamloops, as well as introducing its new service to Prince George from the airport.
The two routes will operate twice per week from the first week of July for the summer peak season. The routes will be serviced by its De Havilland Dash 8-400 (Q400) aircraft.
"Restoring service to Kamloops and introducing service to Prince George is a direct reflection of Canadians' interest in exploring their own backyard this summer," said John Weatherill, WestJet executive vice-president and chief commercial officer. "With more flights and more seats in key Western Canadian markets, we're giving Canadians better access to the destinations they rely on for business, leisure and visiting loved ones."
In addition, WestJet has increased capacity on the Edmonton to Yellowknife and to Nanaimo routes. The routes will now use the 737 aircraft, more than doubling seat capacity. The routes had previously been serviced by the Q400 aircraft. The Yellowknife route will operate four times per week and the Nanaimo route will operate twice per week.
