WestJet Encore expands network
WestJet Encore has launched daily non-stop service between Winnipeg, Manitoba and Regina, Saskatchewan.
Non-stop service between the two prairie cities resumes after a five-year hiatus, operated twice-daily on board WestJet Encore’s new fleet of Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft. Expansion of the regional carrier’s network continues to build in the New Year, with today (Jan. 15) marking the 16th destination. More destinations are still to come as more aircraft arrive, creating greater capacity and frequency in the network.
“Every new point-to-point connection offered by WestJet Encore has tremendous potential with regard to convenience, connectivity and capacity,” said Ferio Pugliese, president, WestJet Encore and executive vice-president, WestJet. “For us, 2014 is about connecting more cities and strengthening our network with non-stop service and convenient, competitive schedules. These are two critical pieces missing until now in the regional airline market.”
