Wednesday, last day for Westjet scheduled passenger service between Lethbridge and Calgary

While not ruling out a return to Lethbridge or Medicine Hat in the future, WestJet will end its passenger service to and from Calgary after Wednesday, June 24. 

Saying the two routes were simply not profitable anymore, the air carrier announced earlier this year it would refocus its efforts on other parts of the country.

Lethbridge mayor Blaine Hyggen says it’s frustrating, however…

“It’s multiple different communities across the country. It’s not just Lethbridge, it’s Medicine Hat,” the mayor pointed out.
