WestJet Labour Disruption: Information for YXS Travellers
At a Glance
– YXS remains open and operational.
– WestJet Encore flights continue to operate from Prince George
– Passengers with onward connections to WestJet mainline flights may experience delays, cancellations, or itinerary changes.
WestJet has temporarily suspended its mainline flights due to a labour disruption involving cabin crew. WestJet Encore flights continue to operate, including scheduled service at Prince George Airport (YXS).
While flights departing from and arriving at YXS may continue to operate, passengers with onward connections to WestJet mainline flights could experience cancellations, delays or changes to their itinerary.
We understand this situation may create uncertainty for travellers. If you’re travelling with WestJet in the coming days, taking a few minutes to confirm your itinerary before leaving for the airport can help make your journey as smooth as possible.
Before Travelling to YXS
Passengers travelling with WestJet should:
- Check the status of every flight in their itinerary before leaving for the airport.
- Monitor email, text messages and the WestJet app for updates.
- Review their updated itinerary through WestJet’s Manage Trips service.
- Avoid travelling to the airport for a cancelled flight unless they have a confirmed alternate itinerary.
- Contact their travel agent or booking provider directly if the trip was booked through a third party.
WestJet advises that passengers affected by cancellations will be notified using the contact information in their booking. The airline says affected passengers will be rebooked on the next available flight, including flights operated by other airlines where available, or may request a refund through Manage Trips.
