New Air Service links Powder Highway with the World<\/strong><\/p>\n

British Columbia – WestJet link has just been announced!\u00a0 WestJet link is a new regional air service, operated by Pacific Coastal, which will now provide flights into the Cranbrook International Airport (YXC). Skiers and snowboarders can land and ski on the Powder Highway all in one day with YXC located under 30 minutes away from Kimberley Alpine Resort & under 60 minutes away from Fernie Alpine Resort.\u00a0 With flights from Calgary International Airport costing just about the same as a tank of gas, it\u2019s a quicker option to get on those slopes as fast as possible!<\/p>\n

Starting March 2018 WestJet will be flying YYC —> YXC 3 times daily with fares starting at $64 (one way, plus taxes).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“This is very exciting news for the\u00a0City of Cranbrook\u00a0and surrounding communities.\u00a0Residents from the East and West Kootenay have been waiting for years for WestJet connections to\u00a0Calgary\u00a0giving access to destinations around the world.\u00a0 This also opens up the world with easier access to the Kootenays. Pacific Coastal has been a great supporter of the Canadian Rockies International Airport and this solidifies their other routes with us. We will put concentrated effort into encouraging the public to take advantage of this added service.”
\nLee Pratt<\/em>, Mayor of\u00a0Cranbrook (excerpt from WestJet press release)<\/em><\/p>\n
