WS adds flights from YVR

The press release is vague and doesn't say how many flights.

CALGARY, Alberta, April 12 (Reuters) - WestJet Airlines Ltd. (WJA.TO: Quote, Profile , Research) said on Thursday it would boost service from Vancouver, British Columbia, after a rival carrier ended scheduled service from the city.

WestJet, Canada's No. 2 airline, will add new nonstop flights to Toronto next month in a move it said was a response to Harmony Airways' decision last month to walk away from its scheduled routes because of rising costs and cutthroat competition.

WestJet said it will also add winter flights to Hawaii, Las Vegas and Palm Springs, California, in November.

"We recognize travelers' flight choices and flexibility were compromised after Harmony Airways announced ceasing their operations and flights to these locations," Bob Cummings, executive vice-president of WestJet, said in a release.

Harmony ended its Vancouver-to-Toronto service on March 30 and all other scheduled service on April 9.
