A total of 1.2 million WestJet passengers are forecast to pass through YYJ this year, an increase of 33 per cent from last year, says Alexis von Hoensbroech, the airline’s CEO.
WestJet’s chief executive visited the capital region on Friday where he met with business people to share his confidence in the company’s growth at the Victoria International Airport.
He had no immediate announcements for service in and out of the Victoria region but anticipates growth as the industry climbs out of the “brutal” impact of the pandemic. “But our vision for Victoria is to grow our presence in Victoria because we think this market is still not adequately served. … This will come over time.”
WestJet offers flights daily between Victoria and Calgary, the company’s home base, and the gateway to international travel, von Hoensbroech noted. “So with one stop in Calgary you can actually reach everything.” B.C. Transit makes up to 28 departures to and from the airport and the McTavish transit exchange with connections to Swartz Bay, the Saanich Peninsula and downtown Victoria. Buses are at the airport weekdays between 6:37 a.m. and 9:07 p.m. But there is no direct service between downtown and the airport.
A private shuttle service serving the airport stopped operating last year because of low passenger numbers.
