YLW Adding Low Cost Airline

Kelowna International Airport has reached an agreement with ultra-low-cost-carrier Canada Jetlines to operate out of YLW.

The company is still completing licensing and regulatory approvals, but plans to operate flights across Canada, and to the US and Caribbean, using Airbus A-320 planes.

Airport director Sam Samaddar says it’s good for residents and visitors.

“We’re excited to welcome a new airline to the community. Adding another ultra-low-cost-carrier to YLW will give residents more flight options, and visitors more opportunities to experience all that the Okanagan has to offer,” says Samaddar.
