Won’t be long before you can catch a direct P.G. to Calgary flight.
Air Canada has announced it is expanding services in Prince George to include direct flights to Calgary. All new flights will be operated by Air Canada Jazz with 50-seat, made-in-Canada Bombardier CRJ aircraft.
The new Prince George to Calgary flights will depart Calgary at 12:20, arriving in Prince George at 12:35.
Flights will depart Prince George at 14:15, arriving in Calgary at 16:30. Air Canada currently serves Prince George with 6 flights daily to Vancouver.
Prince George Airport Authority, General Manager, Stieg Hoeg is thrilled “I applaud Air Canada’s decision today to connect two of Canada’s vibrant communities.”
“I applaud Air Canada’s decision today to connect two of Canada’s vibrant communities.”
I thought that Calgary and Vancouver had already been connected some time ago.

You got that right Owl. I think he meant to say to join Prince George with another one of Canada's vibrant communities.

Might as well, seems people are leaving PG and not coming back.

Well the Manager of the Airport, like so many political types believe the hype they have been spreading for the past two years that PG is booming. So of course they keep spreading it, in the hopes that someone else will actually believe it as well. I guess nothing wrong with thinking positive but come on now lets back it up with a major announcement of some one, any one, with some new jobs in town. Good paying jobs and not a bunch of part time, big box retailer jobs.
The recent stats about our population going down over a thousand people speaks volumes for how the hype isn't true.

Wow, a bunch of negativity here today....
Personally, I'm glad to see some CHOICE goming to PG Airport, though I'm somewhat surprised that Scare Canada initiated flights direct to WestJet's home turf and not WestJet themselves. Hopefully WestJet will add a similar flight so we have competition on that route.

I wish they would announce pricing along with announcing the flight.
Its a great service, maybe.......depends on how bad they plan to rape the users wallet......
