WestJet Link


WestJet Link was a brand name under which Pacific Coastal Airlines operated feeder flights for WestJet.

History

Service was originally planned to commence on March 7, 2018, but was delayed until June 21, 2018. 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 and stimulate air travel in smaller markets. On May 13, 2024, WestJet announced that the brand would cease all operations on October 26, 2024, with all operations transferred back to the WestJet Encore brand.

Destinations

WestJet Link connected the WestJet mainline service with nine destinations in British Columbia and Alberta. All flights operated into or out of Calgary International Airport or Vancouver International Airport.
