WestJet Linking Dawson Creek and Calgary

WestJet launched its newest route between Calgary and Dawson Creek, B.C., providing a new link for the regions’ business, travel and tourism markets as it becomes the only carrier to provide nonstop service between the Peace River Region and its largest hub in Calgary, where the airline is the largest carrier, offering the most seats and flights.

John Weatherill, WestJet chief commercial officer, pointed out that: “Our guests in both Calgary and the Peace River Region have been patiently awaiting this important milestone and we are thrilled to bring air service to the community.”

Weatherill continued: “As we continue to build back our network, Dawson Creek will benefit from lower fares and connectivity across our network as we strive to reconnect Canadians for business and leisure.”

The new service and new route for WestJet operates four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

WestJet Link flights are operated through a capacity purchase agreement with Pacific Coastal Airlines using its fleet of WestJet-branded 34-seat Saab 340 aircraft.

With the addition of Calgary-Dawson Creek service, WestJet Link now operates five routes between Calgary and Cranbrook, Lethbridge, Lloydminster and Medicine Hat and three between Vancouver and Cranbrook, Nanaimo and Comox.
