WestJet flight from Region of Waterloo International Airport cancelled due to Boeing ban
It's so easy to be pessimistic about YKF. To WestJet and others, our airport is of no consequence. I do hope this changes this year although I have no reason to think that it will....

This is a permanent cancellation??

All 737 Max 8 flights are cancelled. It’s a temporary ban until they find out what happened...

It looks as though West Jet is using a 737-600 on the Calgary route now. Flights appear to be operating as usual.

According to my itinerary that I received in January, when I purchased my April WestJet roundtrip out of YKF, the trip was booked to be a 600 one way and 700 the other way combo. I doubt that the route was in line to receive the Max 8s anytime soon. The planes were probably pulled back to fill holes left by the Max 8s elsewhere.

Air Canada has now removed the MAX 8 from their schedules until the end of June. I expect that it'll be at least that long before the MAX 8 is allowed to fly in Canada again, so WestJet is likely doing similar route planning.

Your itinerary matches my recent flights on the route. I was just happy the flight wasn't gone for long while they readjusted their planes after the ban.

I was surprised we were impacted by the max 8 issue at all

I was flying YVR-YYZ two weekends ago. There were standby lists of 50. Of course that also coincided with the end of March Break.
