We look forward to continuing to grow our presence and thank everyone who attended the roundtable." “We are grateful to our partners who joined us today to discuss the safe reopening and restart of travel and who share in our commitment to supporting the rebound of tourism and stimulating demand for air travel in the region,” said Andrew Gibbons, WestJet Vice-President Government Relations. “On behalf of Abbotsford City Council and the Abbotsford Airport Authority, I would like to offer my thanks to WestJet and Swoop for bringing all of us together to discuss the future of air travel for our community and our region,” said Henry Braun, Mayor of Abbotsford. “WestJet Group is a valued partner of the Abbotsford International Airport and has been integral in the growth of our airport and local economy. We look forward to continuing to work together for years to come.” Both WestJet and Swoop announced their plans in late spring for Abbotsford’s domestic recovery with the addition of new routes and the restart of routes that had been suspended due to lack of demand.
