SEATTLE ST. JOHNS
from Seattle and over 325,000 from Bellingham. With significant price savings and lower passenger fees and taxes, Canadian airports will continue to struggle to compete.
The Cheapseats study goes a step further by looking at the average ticket price. Bellingham is the cheapest location to fly from with an average air fare of $285, followed by Detroit ($380) and Burlington, Vermont ($394). And here may lay the surprise for many: Kelowna (YLW) was ranked number four, the most inexpensive transborder airport in Canada, coming in at $415 a ticket. The only US airport more expensive was Buffalo at $476 a ticket. The most expensive location in Canada – St. Johns, Newfoundland at $593.
YLW is the lifeblood of our region’s economy, generating economic impacts of over $300 million. Unlike other Canadian airports, we have greater local control over our fees, resulting in Kelowna being a less expensive place to fly from. Next time you are looking at Bellingham or Seattle as cross border flight locations, check your actual savings and the fuel and time involved – Cheapseats’ results might change your mind. And be grateful that we use our international airport as an economic tool, not a revenue generator.
