May 20, 2025 | 9:47 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — WestJet has announced the introduction of a brand new flight between Prince George (YXS) and Edmonton (YEG).

Beginning the first week of July, WestJet Encore will operate the route twice per week throughout the peak summer travel season onboard the De Havilland Dash 8-400 (Q400) aircraft.

WestJet has also re-instated the previously cancelled Kamloops-Edmonton flight.

“We’re thrilled to welcome this new route connecting Prince George to Edmonton, expanding travel options for our community and strengthening our region’s accessibility,” said Sabrina Angus, Interim President and CEO of the Prince George Airport Authority. “This service not only opens the door for more business and leisure travel but also reinforces our commitment to connecting Northern BC to key hubs across Canada.”

“Restoring service to Kamloops and introducing service to Prince George is a direct reflection of Canadians’ interest in exploring their own backyard this summer,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “With more flights and more seats in key Western Canadian markets, we’re giving Canadians better access to the destinations they rely on for business, leisure and visiting loved ones.”
