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.[2] 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[3] and stimulate air travel in smaller markets.[1] 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.[4]

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.[3]

Operators and fleet

All WestJet Link flights were operated by Pacific Coastal using its fleet of 34-seat Saab 340 aircraft. Only the first two WestJet Link aircraft display the word 'Link' on the livery, the rest used the standard WestJet colours.[11] As of October 2024, Pacific Coastal Airlines had 5 Saab 340s painted and operating for WestJet Link.[12][13]
