When travel ground to a halt during the beginning of the pandemic, airline industry jobs were eliminated. But as demand for flights escalated quickly this summer, there weren’t enough people working at security checks, air traffic and border control. WestJet’s announcement of a strategic retrenchment into Western Canada is a sign that Canada’s newest ultra-low-cost carriers are having an impact in WestJet’s Alberta home market.Flair and Lynx, two ULCCs based in Alberta, are each planning to deploy 50 new aircraft.
