Air Canada to Offer Direct Edmonton-To-L.A. Flight

According to the Edmonton Journal, Air Canada will offer a direct Edmonton-to-Los Angeles flight, filling the void left by America West's route drop. The move is expected to help Edmonton and Northern Alberta's connection to the movie and telelevsion industry:

Edmonton Economic Development Corp. spokesman Kenn Bur said non-stop Los Angeles connections are important for the Edmonton market, especially our film industry.

"It makes our job a lot easier to sell Edmonton to film producers in Los Angeles if they can get a non-stop flight instead of having to take two flights, which makes us seem like a secondary market."

With this move, Alberta continues to provide excellent transportation facilitation for continued growth in the entertainment production sector.
