This new route is about more than just the connection between two cities, it’s about recognizing a mutual commitment to global connectivity,” says Chris Dinsdale, President and CEO of The Calgary Airport Authority.

“In advancing that commitment, every step, every new destination, counts towards solidifying YYC’s role and status as a global hub.”

According to WestJet, The exclusive service, linking the Group’s global hub in Calgary to Iceland, not only bolsters the airline’s efforts to enhance YYC Calgary International Airport’s connectivity but reinforces the city’s standing as the best-connected mid-sized city in North America.

Sounds like there’s a trip to beautiful Iceland in your near future, Calgary!
