    Tammy Priddle says Westjet has made a decision not to fly into the airport this season but says that’s just a pause.

    As Swoop Airlines merges with Westjet and those cheap direct flights will soon cease to exist, the President and CEO of the Deer Lake Regional Airport is waiting to see what it will mean. Tammy Priddle says Westjet has made a decision not to fly into the airport this season but says that’s just a pause. She says at this point they are unsure of how it will play out but they continue to have ongoing negotiations with Westjet. Priddle says Pal and Air Canada recently announced an intent to move forward with PAL supporting Air Canada in terms of capacity. Tammy Priddle was recently appointed  president of the Atlantic Canada Airports Association.
