WestJet Encore increased its presence at Kamloops (YKA), this time with a new service from Edmonton (YEG) on 15 February

The 552-kilometre sector will be served daily, using the airline’s 78-seat Q400s. No other carrier serves this new route, but WestJet Encore is also flying to Kamloops from Calgary with twice-daily flights. Commenting on the route launch to Kamloops, Tom Ruth, CEO, Edmonton Airport, said: “Kamloops is a great getaway destination with skiing, golfing, wineries, and more; and for Kamloops, Edmonton is a big draw for business, shopping and festivals, and it’s a key connection for workers commuting to northern Alberta and northern Canada.”
