New Vancouver flight first step for more destinations at Nanaimo Airport
NANAIMO — The Nanaimo Airport says a new daily flight to Vancouver is another step towards offering flights to sunny destinations such as Mexico.
Starting Dec. 14, WestJet will offer one mid-day flight to Vancouver, which will only take 15 minutes.
Mike Hooper, president and CEO of the Nanaimo Airport, said adding the quick route to Vancouver will offer more convenient options for those looking to travel and hoped it will soon be even easier.
“As we look to the future, we know we will have direct services to places like sun destinations, but as a first step this is fabulous to have,” he told NanaimoNewsNOW. “We look forward to growing the routes with WestJet.”
