WestJet has announced some big changes to its flight schedules – allowing more options for travellers in Saskatchewan.
The airline announced Monday that it’s expanding its Saskatchewan capacity this winter with 27 per cent growth.
“We’ve seen a big uptick in travel rebound. This summer, our airport is averaging well into the 90 plus per cent of passenger levels,” Regina Airport Authority CEO James Bogusz told CTV News.
WestJet has unveiled its winter schedule and Regina will have seven flights a week to Toronto beginning later this year.
The now daily schedule represents a 133 per cent increase compared to last year.
A daily flight to Vancouver represents a similar increase in frequency. From Saskatoon, a daily winter flight to Toronto and Vancouver translates into frequency increases of 133 per cent and 250 per cent respectively.
“But really what this is about is we’re seeing growth in our economy,” Bogusz added.
