Westjet have announced their first plans to enter the Regional Airline business. The new airline is called Westjet Encore and they will be using Bombardier Q400 aircraft.They are starting by connecting Fort St John and Nanaimo toVancouver and Calgary. This is a natural expansion for Westjet as they will now have a feeder airline to bring passengers to larger centres for onward flight with Westjet. These new routes start in June and they are also starting a Victoria to Vancouver service for less than $100 each way.
