WestJet to chop some Edmonton flights but Alberta tourism still bullish

Hotelier says he's expecting a banner year, despite the drop in American visitors.

Damn, between COVID, US tariffs (and travel boycotts) and high fuel prices (twice!), YEG just can't catch a break.

Flights to Mexico being increased as a result. Would be nice if WS also boosted the Iceland flight to more weekly options.

COVID was 5 - 6 years ago, it should no longer be an excuse.

COVID started in March 2020 and ended in May of 2023…..you’re off by a few years

Agreed. Even knowing the days that WS flies to YEG-KEF and return, I couldn't manage to book direct both ways this summer for the dates I wanted. The return must have been full or WS just wanted to route me through YYC out of habit!

Give it some time and I'm optimistic frequencies on YEG-KEF will rise.

Feel like I've been negative on this front but it's looking like another tough year ahead for passenger numbers at YEG with Jan & Feb already seeing lower numbers. Fuel prices aren't exclusive to YEG but it does tend to get hit harder than others. Things change quickly though so who knows.

With the conflicts happening in the world since then the January numbers are kind of meaningless now. If they continue, I could see international travel being hit harder later this year and domestic travel being more resilient.

So it could actually end up hurting those airports who depend more on international travel much more than ours.

 

[Kosy123]

We're actually growing domestically decently, it's transborder flights and FBOs dropping significantly that's hitting our numbers hard.

 

[Airboy]

With Diavik and the LNG sites winding down we have only a slight drop. but I figure there will be a increase in a year or 2 as pipeline and additional LNG get started. We may see a bump as Northern Construction starts to come on line as well.

 

[MakeYEGGreatAgain]

International and Transborder decrease is due to consolidation at YYC. Many flights to the US have been removed and since Sunwing's absorption into WestJet, many routes have completely disappeared at YEG.
