WestJet Airlines (Calgary) has announced it will add additional flights between Calgary and Toronto (Pearson) to accommodate demand from football fans to huddle up for centennial Grey Cup celebrations in Toronto this weekend. The Calgary Stampeders will play the Toronto Argonauts for CFL supremacy at Rogers Centre on Sunday, November 25 .
WestJet will add one flight on Friday from Calgary to Toronto and one flight on Monday from Toronto to Calgary , plus return flights in the opposite direction each day.
“The Grey Cup is Canada’s oldest professional sports trophy and a truly Canadian celebration,” said Bob Cummings , WestJet’s Executive Vice-President of Sales, Marketing and Guest Experience. “This year, as we celebrate the 100th Grey Cup Championship in Toronto , we’re calling the signals. Flights between Calgary and Toronto are almost completely sold out, so we’re changing the play. In support of this iconic Canadian tradition, we are adding two more flights to help get more fans over their goal line.”
