The Canadian Rockies International Airport (YXC) will have about 48,000 more available seats this year thanks to new service expansions from WestJet and Air Canada.
Both airlines have significantly increased air traffic to YXC with enhanced schedules and more weekly service.
The airline companies have added three new Q400 flights per week, resulting in about 24,000 new seats per carrier this year.
Airport Manager Tristen Chernove says the expansion reflects strong demand for both leisure and business travel, and YXC growing as a vital transportation hub for southeastern British Columbia.
“We’re thrilled to see this level of investment and commitment from both WestJet and Air Canada,” said Chernove.
“These added flights not only increase convenience and flexibility for our passengers, but they also support the region’s economic development, tourism, and accessibility.”
Travellers are encouraged to book early to take advantage of the expanded schedules and explore more destinations.
