CALGARY, Aug. 11 /CNW/ - WestJet today announced it will fly non-stop between Edmonton and Orlando on a weekly basis starting December 18, 2010.

"The addition of weekly non-stop service to Orlando further solidifies WestJet as the carrier offering the most non-stop destinations from the Edmonton International Airport," said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Strategy and Planning. "From Maui to Montego Bay, WestJet is flying Edmontonians to the destinations that they want to visit."

In addition to Orlando, WestJet also operates non-stop service from Edmonton to many sun destinations on a seasonal or year-round basis, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Palm Springs, Maui, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Montego Bay.

"Orlando is one of our most-requested route additions," said Reg Milley, President and CEO, Edmonton International Airport. "We're excited to welcome this key leisure destination to EIA's growing family of more than 50 non-stop cities. Now it's up to Edmontonians to ensure the success of the new route. It's important to choose non-stops like Orlando or one of WestJet's other U.S. non-stop destinations to ensure our great U.S. service is maintained."
