The Campbell River Airport is getting ready to mark a major milestone with the launch of WestJet’s first non stop service from Campbell River to Calgary.

The first WestJet departure takes off from YBL today, marking a new chapter in regional air service.

With mid-day departure timing, the airport says the new service is designed around how people prefer to travel - offering a more convenient, relaxed start to the journey while enabling smooth same-day connections through Calgary to destinations across Canada, the United States, and beyond.

Seats are available now at Westjet.
