A trip to Edmonton just got faster for Prince George residents.
WestJet announced today (Monday) they are introducing service between Prince George and Edmonton, starting the first week of July.
“We’re thrilled to welcome this new route connecting Prince George to Edmonton, expanding travel options for our community and strengthening our region’s accessibility,” said PG Airport Authority Interim President and CEO Sabrina Angus.
“The service not only opens the door for more business and leisure travel but also reinforces our commitment to connecting Northern BC to key hubs across Canada.”
In addition to the Prince George announcement, WestJet also announced they are restoring service between Edmonton and Kamloops.
“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.”
WestJet Encore will operate these routes twice per week throughout the peak summer travel season onboard the De Havilland Dash 8-400 (Q400) aircraft.
