The new jet route provides easier and faster access to Northern destinations out of Canadian North’s Yellowknife hub which will greatly enhance travel opportunities. The carrier will also increase its jet service between Edmonton and Yellowknife.
The new Calgary to Yellowknife 737 jet flights will operate daily, Monday through Sunday, on Canadian North’s Boeing 737 jet aircraft allowing travellers quick, comfortable and smooth jet service. Passengers will be treated to complimentary fresh, never frozen, hot inflight meals and beverage service topped off with its signature warm cookie and speciality coffee service. Travellers can accrue and redeem Aeroplan™ or Aurora Rewards™ points on these and all other scheduled Canadian North flights.
