WestJet to launch service to Terrace, BC; WestJet Encore brings Bombardier Q400s to Skeena Valley: CALGARY — WestJet will launch new twice-daily, nonstop service between Vancouver and Terrace, BC, effective Nov. 25, 2013. Operated by WestJet Encore using Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft, the service will benefit the entire northwest region of the province which is undergoing a major economic transformation due to billions of dollars in investment in forestry, mining, smelting, hydroelectricity, liquefied natural gas and infrastructure projects in the Kitimat-Terrace industrial corridor. “The growth of natural resource and industrial development in this important region of British Columbia is unprecedented,” said Ferio Pugliese, Executive Vice-President, WestJet, and President, WestJet Encore. “And given the critical importance of transportation in creating and supporting economic development, we are pleased to offer greater opportunities for connectivity to the WestJet network with this new, twice-daily service to the Skeena Valley at such a significant time in its history.” WestJet Encore’s new service between Vancouver and Terrace also offers guests the opportunity to connect on the same day in both directions to and from Honolulu, Maui, Kauai and Kona, Orange County, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo and Mazatlan, in addition to connecting to the remainder of WestJet’s extensive domestic and international network.
