Today
WestJet announced the first service "suspensions" that it is attributing to the strategy refocus:
- YYZ-YFC (DH4)
- YYZ-YYG (737)
- YYZ-YQB (DH4)
- YHZ-YQY (DH4)
All routes are ostensibly being "suspended" for Winter from November 15.
It appears YYZ-YYG has been added to 2023 Summer schedule, while the others remain absent - I wouldn't be surprised if they don't return.
I also note that a new twice-weekly YYC-YQB route has been added from May 2023, so YQB will still see a very limited WestJet presence.
Also, today's announcement includes this update:
This August, WestJet will release the airline’s full winter 2022/2023 schedule that will see significant sun and leisure flying investments for Eastern Canada along with capacity enhancements nationwide.
