With the closure of the WestJet Link service between Calgary International Airport and Lloydminster, the City of Lloydminster has asked WestJet for further discussion.

Mayor Gerald Aalbers says the city and people in the region have reacted with surprise to Thursday’s decision to wind up the flights effective April 15, 2024.

WestJet has indicated in its statement that its decision came due to concern about the route’s viability.

MyLloydminsterNow has reached out to the city seeking any numbers on arrivals and departures at the Lloydminster Airport.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
