WestJet Link is a brand name under which Pacific Coastal Airlines operates feeder flights for WestJet. Service was originally planned to commence March 7, 2018, but was delayed until June 21, 2018.[2] The brand was created to primarily connect smaller cities with WestJet's domestic hubs at Calgary International Airport and Vancouver International Airport[3] which stimulate air travel in smaller markets.[1]
Destinations
WestJet Link connects the WestJet mainline service with 7 Destinations in British Columbia and Alberta. All flights operate into or out of Calgary International Airport or Vancouver International Airport.[3]
