Passengers will have more flight options between Vancouver Island and Western Canadian cities beginning in June.

In a press release, WestJet announced direct flights on Fridays and Sundays, between Nanaimo and Edmonton and Prince George and Abbotsford, would begin June 25. They would be among 11 new domestic routes servicing Western Canada, the press release said.
