It looks as if they are finally able to eliminate the YXE-YWG and YQR-YWG winter routes that were only there as a way to offer service from Saskatchewan to Toronto in the winter.

The Regina-Winnipeg flight left at about 6:00am and came back at about 9:30pm. It gave Regina one stop Toronto.

The two Saskatoon-Winnipeg flights left at about 7:00am and 10:00am and came back the other way at about 6:00pm and 8:00pm for the Toronto connections.

The Saskatchewan - Winnipeg market was an afterthought and if you look at the numbers from Stats Canada, you can see why!!!! Twice as many people fly from Saskatchewan to Toronto as Saskatchewan to Winnipeg!!!!! Regina - Winnipeg ranks below Montreal- Sept Iles for airline traffiic and most people west of Ontario couldn't point out Sept Iles on a map!

WestJet has never tried to be all things to all people. By giving up the route, it will allow smaller airlines like Calm Air and Bearskin new opportunities to grow in their niche.

There's no point operating routes if they don't make any money.

You'd never know it by listening to the media, but the days of the government requiring airlines to service certain routes ended with deregulation in 1987! They do because they WANT to, not because they HAVE to!
