Big news for the Kootenays from YXC! We’re excited to announce increased service to the Canadian Rockies International Airport—making travel to and from our beautiful region easier than ever. Whether you’re heading out or coming home, we’re proud to connect the world to the heart of the Kootenays, and mountains of opportunity.
Read on to learn more!
The Canadian Rockies International Airport (YXC) is proud to announce a significant increase in air service beginning this May, offering travellers more options and greater connectivity than ever before. Compared to the same period in 2024, both WestJet and Air Canada have enhanced their schedules with additional weekly service, bringing a combined total of 48,000 more seats annually to the East Kootenay region.
Each airline has added three new Q400 flights per week, resulting in approximately 24,000 additional seats per carrier for 2025. This expanded capacity reflects strong demand for both leisure and business travel to and from the Canadian Rockies, as well as growing confidence in YXC as a vital transportation hub for southeastern British Columbia.
“We’re thrilled to see this level of investment and commitment from both WestJet and Air Canada,” says Tristen Chernove, Airport Manager at the Canadian Rockies International Airport. “These added flights not only increase convenience and flexibility for our passengers, but they also support the region’s economic development, tourism, and accessibility.”
Travellers are encouraged to book early to take advantage of the expanded schedules and explore more destinations with ease and comfort.
