WestJet announced late last week that starting in September of this year they will start to offer direct flightsto Las Vegas from Saskatoon. Previously the only way to get to Vegas via WestJet was to fly to either Calgary or Edmonton and then catch a connector flight. This is just one more sign that Saskatoon is making its mark and attracting large companies to bring more services to our city.
Initially WestJet says that the flights will be seasonal and only operating in the fall, winter and early spring. This tend to be the busiest times for people to head done to Vegasand escape the Canadian winter. If the service is popular than we could see it potentially running year round. Recently WestJet also added a direct flight from Saskatoon to Toronto.
Saskatoon is in huge a huge growth phase, which can be shown by the Saskatoon real estate market. As our city continues to grow more services such as direct flights that once weren’t an option will become readily available. I know I for one am excited about the addition of flights to our city.
