This December an historic first flight established direct international air service to Canadian Rockies International Airport (YXC) at Cranbrook, British. Delta Air Lines Flight 4543 from Salt Lake City (SLC) touched down on time at 1:08 pm and was welcomed by over 250 residents assembled on the apron, cheering and waving Canadian flags.
Dignitaries aboard the flight joined the official welcome and Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce function inside the terminal for the welcome toast and short presentations by Cranbrook Mayor Scott Manjak and Tourism BC Vice-President, Don Foxgord. Mr. Foxgord conveyed best wishes from Tourism British Columbia and the Minister of Tourism, Honourable Bill Bennett.
This service links Fernie to Delta’s Salt Lake City World hub. Enjoy!
