WestJet changing Lethbridge service this fall
LETHBRIDGE, AB – One of Canada’s major airlines has announced a revamp of its regional operations.
WestJet plans to transition its WestJet Link service to WestJet Encore. It will provide regional connectivity on a De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft.
The company says in a news release that the change will complete their capacity purchase agreement with Pacific Coastal Airlines and is in line with their regional growth strategy.
“WestJet will be working closely with the regional communities on this transition, which will in most cases see an increase in the number of seats offered,” says WestJet in a statement. “WestJet is committed to ensuring that air access in these communities remains supported to achieve their economic and tourism objectives.”
