Daily flights to Vancouver will begin from May 4, 2018, while the seasonal service to Calgary will commence from Jun 7, 2018.
Tickets for the new route will be on sale from Dec 4.
The carrier will also add flights from the U.S. East Coast to Eastern Canada and increase seasonal operations to popular destinations in Canada. We believe, this decision to expand its presence is prudent as it is likely to boost the carrier’s top line by attracting significant traffic on the routes introduced.
