Over the past week or so we've seen two Canadian airlines really go head to head. newleaf and WestJet. It looks like WestJet really wants to defend their territory. On November 17 newleaf outlined flights from Calgary and Edmonton to Phoenix Mesa airport (3x weekly & 1x weekly respectively, source: routesonline) The next day on the 18th, WestJet revealed flights between Calgary and Edmonton to Phoenix Mesa airport, also 3x weekly and 1x weekly! Both airlines will fly the routes from January 19 to April 30th. Talk about cutthroat!
