THUNDER BAY — There's a silver lining to WestJet's new business strategy which saw it abandon service between Thunder Bay and Toronto as of the end of April.
"WestJet's new schedules provide Thunder Bay travellers with strong options to the west and south," Schmidtke said. "We appreciate the efforts of WestJet and the Winnipeg Airport Authority to time these flights to include great connectivity for Thunder Bay." "WestJet made it very clear in May of 2022 that they were going to consolidate their efforts in Western Canada. Once they started down that path, we made the point that we are very much the eastern edge of Western Canada ... Winnipeg has a lot more flights than it had beforehand. It makes getting to Western Canada through Winnipeg much easier than it's ever been," Schmidtke said in an interview Monday.
"We haven't seen this type of connectivity to Western Canada over Winnipeg in 25 or 30 years," Schmidtke said. "We're hopeful that by making it easier, there is going to be a boost in [passenger] volume."
