WestJet has launched a new 3X-weekly nonstop transborder service between Saskatoon and Minneapolis.
The airlines says the new route unlocks direct connectivity from Saskatchewan to the Midwest United States and beyond. With the inclusion of Minneapolis to Saskatoon's network, WestJet has increased transborder capacity in and out of the City of Bridges by 20% during the summer.
"We are thrilled to celebrate the departure of our inaugural flight between Saskatoon and Minneapolis today, bolstering our title as Saskatchewan's leading airline and signifying our expanded commitment to the province," said Jared Mikoch-Gerke, WestJet Director, Government Relations & Regulatory Affairs.
