WestJet adding PG to Abbotsford service

Local residents flying out of YXS now have another destination to pick from.

WestJet announced today (Friday), it will be adding a Prince George to Abbotsford service starting June 25th.

The flight will run twice weekly on Friday and Sunday.

“As we look to the coming months with cautious optimism, we know our restart agenda will be pivotal to Canada’s economic recovery,” said Ed Sims, WestJet President, and CEO in a news release.

“Stimulating air travel benefits all Canadians and supports those hardest hit; with one in every 10 Canadian jobs tied to travel and tourism, the ripple effect benefits our whole country.”

It’s one of 11 domestic routes being added by the airline.
