Myles Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Sydney Airport Authority says; “We are overjoyed to welcome WestJet back to the McCurdy Sydney Airport with their new Calgary route – a connection we’ve been eager to establish for our community. This new connection holds significant value for Cape Breton, especially for those residents who work rotationally in other provinces and travel regularly across the county to be with their loved ones.”

“Cape Breton has experienced decades of interprovincial migration, especially to Alberta. This new direct service offers an easier, faster way for Cape Bretoners to return, cutting down travel time and allowing them to spend more meaningful moments with family and friends,” continues Tuttle. “Likewise, it opens the door for more people to visit loved ones out west, giving friends and families the chance to create lasting memories together while exploring all that Alberta has to offer. We are proud to partner with WestJet to make this meaningful connection a reality.”
