Air Canada adds domestic flights on Rouge carrier [but not from YKF]
Quote:The airline announced Thursday that it will be offering a daily flight between Hamilton and Calgary starting in June, courting customers who would find the Hamilton airport more convenient than Toronto’s Pearson airport. “It’s a shot at WestJet,” said Robert Kokonis, president of AirTrav Inc., an airline consulting firm, noting WestJet currently operates from Hamilton. “And Calgary is WestJet’s hub.”
Air Canada doesn’t currently fly out of the Hamilton airport. In 2008, it ended its regional Jazz flights to Ottawa and Montreal. Kokonis added that Hamilton airport would be attractive to passengers living from Oakville to Waterloo and even into the Niagara region.
