The delay comes as Pacific Coastal continues its work in order to be fully able to meet WestJet’s operational requirements.

“WestJet apologizes to our guests for the inconvenience these delays may cause,” said Brian Znotins, WestJet vice-president of network planning, alliances and corporate development.

“Impacted guests are being offered several different options including alternative transportation to Calgary to embark on their travel from there, obtaining a full refund or changing the date of travel. We again apologize to our guests for this inconvenience and look forward to the launch of our flights from Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Medicine Hat, Cranbrook and Prince George in June.”

WestJet said it is in the process of contacting all guests whose itineraries have been affected.
