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 in western Canada with WestJet's domestic hubs at Calgary International Airport and Vancouver International Airport[3] and stimulate air travel in smaller markets.[1]
Destinations
WestJet Link connects the WestJet mainline service with 9 Destinations in British Columbia and Alberta. All flights operate into or out of Calgary International Airport or Vancouver International Airport.[3]
Operators and fleet
All WestJet Link flights are operated by Pacific Coastal using its fleet of 34-seat Saab 340 aircraft. Only the first two WestJet Link aircraft display the word 'Link' on the livery, the rest use the standard WestJet colours.[9] As of September 2023, Pacific Coastal Airlines had 5 Saab 340s painted and operating for WestJet Link.
