Flights will operate under a capacity purchase agreement (CPA) with Pacific Coastal Airlines and hopes to be the connection to more regional communities like Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Cranbrook, Medicine Hat and Prince George.

"A CPA with Pacific Coastal underscores WestJet's commitment to offering more Canadians access to WestJet's low fares and growing network," stated Ed Sims, WestJet Executive VP.
