CALGARY – WestJet today announced new flights from Edmonton, AB, to Hamilton, ON, and Winnipeg, MB, to Kelowna, BC. Flights are available for sale as of Monday June 27, 2016, with service commencing July 28, 2016.
“These are cities we presently serve yet don’t connect with non-stop flying,” said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Commercial. “These routes have been on our radar for a while now and with the busy summer flying season upon us, we examined our fleet plans to see if there was extra flying we could provide. Our guests can expect WestJet’s low fares on these routes.”
