Central Mountain Air has expanded its route network, with the introduction of a non-stop service between Prince George and Edmonton.
“Connecting these points with non-stop service will provide passengers with improved service by eliminating the need to connect in Vancouver, which is a four-hour journey,” said Central Mountain Air’s marketing manager, Johnathan Richardson.
Flights will operate six days a week, using a Dornier 328 aircraft that seats 30 passengers, and also connect to Calgary.
Another benefit of this flight is it connects to Calgary. Communities in CMA’s extensive network including Terrace, Smithers, Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek, can now easily access Alberta’s two major cities.
Tom Ruth, the president and CEO of Edmonton International Airport, said the airport has been working on the direct flight for years “as there is such a demand for flights between our two cities.”
Passengers will also be able to connect to Central Mountain Air’s interline partners, and receive multiple boarding passes for connecting flights at check-in and baggage can be tagged through to the final destination.
Flights between Prince George and Edmonton will start on Sunday, July 9.
Established in 1987, Central Mountain Air Ltd. is a western Canadian privately owned and operated company, providing flights and cargo services to 16 communities throughout British Columbia, Alberta, and western Canada.
