Statement from Westjet received on December 15 2024
“We can confirm that WestJet Link service between Lloydminster and Calgary will be removed from our schedule effective April 15, 2024. Service between now and April 14, 2024, will not be impacted.
The decision to remove service is never taken lightly, and we understand this is disappointing news for the community and apologize for the impact this may have. Despite efforts made to support the route’s viability, service between Lloydminster and Calgary was not performing to expectations.
Impacted guests will be provided with as much advance notice as possible, and the option to select alternative travel arrangements or to receive a refund to their original form of payment”
Statement from the City of Lloydminster
“On the morning of December 14, 2023, we received formal notice that WestJet Link services between Lloydminster and Calgary will be discontinued effective April 15, 2024. This announcement comes as a surprise to the City of Lloydminster and to many in the Lloydminster region who utilized this service, which is why I have reached out to WestJet representatives for further discussion.” – Mayor Gerald Aalbers, City of Lloydminster
