WestJet today announced a new, year-round, daily service connecting Regina, SK and Minneapolis, Minnesota as part of the airline’s 2024 summer schedule.
The news reaffirms the airline’s ongoing commitment to providing connectivity to the province and further enhances Regina’s air access to popular destinations. The route is Regina’s first year-round trans-border service since 2016 and marks the province’s second direct route to the Midwest United States, following the launch of WestJet‘s year-round service between Saskatoon and Minneapolis, launched in June earlier this year.
“We are thrilled to answer the call of the community and further our commitment to Regina and surrounding area by bringing vital year-round trans-border connectivity with service to Minneapolis, beginning this summer,” says Jared Mikoch-Gerke, WestJet Director of Alliances & Airport Affairs.
