Westjet at YXS Shrinks While Under Construction

Prince George, B.C - Westjet Services at the Prince George Airport will have a bit of a different look from  September 2, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
 
As YXS is under construction, Westjet will be bringing in Dash -8 planes from Terrace instead of 737s.
 
Todd Doherty, Prince George Airport Authority says the change of plane is because one runway is under construction and the other is too short to accommodate the large planes, “We want to continue to offer all three flights during this time so we have done everything we can by partnering with both carriers. Westjet will be leasing a small aircraft and Air Canada added legs to pick up the slack as each plane will only be able to accommodate 37 seats as opposed to 136 passengers on the larger planes.”
 
Doherty adds the shorter runway is just one of the reasons for the needed expansion.

A sad day when a 737 is a "large plane".

So 737's can't land at YXS?
Better tell that to the ones I keep seeing land here, they may have a crash.

Lostfaith should read the article and comments on facts instead of commenting on the complaints of other people. In this case, "Death to Socialism",s comment is a good one.

This "reduction" to airplane services is a short term pain for a long term gain. Lots of potential in the airport when the full runway opens up. :)

Westjet is doing very well in Canada and the competition with AirCanada has brought the air fares down in Canada.

I would fly WestJet even if the planes shrink. Much better customer service, compared to AirCanada.

WTF are you talking about? Are you another that doesn't understand what they read?
Apparantly so.
Exactly what part of my post do you see that is complaining about anything.
Go take your medication, back to school and learn to read.
Absolutely incredible!

LMAO, have you heard of this thing called a sense of humour?
If you read what I posted originally with a sense of humour young fellow,(you may want to look up "sense of humour" in the dictionary) you will see I wrote my post with a sense of humour IE; "LMAO" at the end of my post indicates me laughing my ass off.
Just so you won't have trouble finding my original post that has got your shorts all in a knot, I will repost it here just for you.

I have taken the liberty on your behalf to book english 101 and anger management classes at UNBC. Oh I almost forgot I also prepaid one years subscription for the comedy channel to help you get a frikken sense of humour. LMFAO.


Did you get the LMFAO at the end of this post?
