Prince George flew through the WestJet test period.
On Friday, the airline said it would be continuing to offer its daily direct connection to Calgary.
"WestJet announced the service has been added to their booking systems for the winter season and beyond," said PGAA spokesperson Lindsay Cotter.
Being an open option for the winter booking season was seen as a major benefit for the travel agents and sun-chasers of the region.
"This is great news for the traveling public heading east or to find sun," said airport president and CEO John Gibson. "The connections out of YYC [Calgary's international airport code letters] save people time and money. WestJet's seasonal nonstop flight to Puerto Vallarta continues to be a very strong service, however, the sun destination choices out of Calgary are extensive."
WestJet's director of network and schedule planning John Weatherill said Prince George travellers now had substantially more convenient connections on top of the international routes accessible through the Vancouver airport.
"The nonstop to Calgary opens up some of our favorite sun destinations for snow birds
including Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Phoenix and Varadero," said Weatherill. "This flight also connects to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Mazatlan and Palm Springs as well."
The winter schedule has the nonstop flight leaving Prince George at 6 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, getting into Calgary at 8:28 a.m. Mountain Standard Time. The flight then leaves Calgary at 10:25 p.m. MST, getting into Prince George at 11:10 p.m. PST.
Starting Oct. 26, this 90-minute flight will be operated on the 78 seat, made-in-Canada,
Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft.
