A Friday morning WestJet flight from Yellowknife to Calgary is the latest cancellation affecting NWT residents as winter storms continue to disrupt travel in Canada.
Flight WS 3194, which should have departed Yellowknife at 7:35am, was cancelled according to WestJet’s website. The same flight had also been cancelled a day earlier.
The previous night’s inbound flight from Calgary had not taken place. WestJet said on Thursday it was cancelling more than a hundred flights departing from BC and Ontario because of winter weather, a move that had knock-on effects for the rest of the airline’s network.
As of 7:30am on Friday, WestJet’s afternoon flights between Yellowknife, Calgary and Edmonton were shown by the airline to be going ahead as scheduled.
