Securing non-stop service to Edmonton had been a top priority for the Nanaimo Airport team for several years.
And just a few months ago that service started.
Now, it’s being cut as a result of dropping oil prices in Alberta.
Westjet is suspending service from Nanaimo to Edmonton and cutting service or reducing it in 5 other BC cities.
The changes are effective March 5th.
Mike Hooper, President and CEO of Nanaimo Airport WestJet Encore’s twice daily service to Calgary will remain.
