Effective November 2, WestJet will be suspending operations to Moncton, Fredericton, Sydney, Charlottetown and Quebec City while significantly reducing service to Halifax and St. John’s.
The suspension eliminates more than 100 flights weekly or almost 80 percent of seat capacity from the Atlantic region. The airline says these cuts are a result of the impact of domestic quarantines, and continued decrease in demand.
