WestJet aims to double capacity in Calgary through partnership with provincial government yyc yycbiz ableg abpoli
Von Hoensbroech said this investment on WestJet’s behalf will enable the airline to open new routes to Europe and possibly Asia, using Calgary as the connecting hub. Currently, the company’s Dreamliners are distributed between Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto.
“We’re facing a major global shortage of pilots. And Alberta wants to embrace the opportunity of this investment by becoming a major source of skilled new pilots for WestJet and the entire industry,” said Kenney. MRU interim provost Dr. Elizabeth Evans said in a statement that the university is thrilled to be included in the partnership agreement.Article content
There will be work to address high aviation fuel prices, including possible reductions in aviation fuel taxes to match those for automobile drivers, and work to develop sustainable aviation fuel capacity. The airline fuel tax savings could run at about $10 million annually, Kenney said.
Air traffic at the Calgary airport fell by more than two-thirds in 2020 from the previous year to just 5.6 million passengers — down from 18 million reported in 2019 — before a gradual recovery to 6.3 million passengers last year.Article content
