It's a shame to see Vancouver being abandoned by WestJet but inevitable considering there focus is on their main hub at Calgary.
This means that Vancouver will no longer be served by a Canadian carrier from London Gatwick. Vancouver has been continuously served from London Gatwick by various Canadian carriers over the years on scheduled and charter flights. First direct non stop flights between Vancouver to London Gatwick started in 1968 with a ABC flight on a CP Air DC8.
I'm aware of the fact that British Airways are starting London Gatwick to Vancouver for summer 2023 but I wonder if Air Transat will at some point resurrect their own Vancouver to London Gatwick flights.
