WestJet Link is a brand name under which Pacific Coastal Airlines operates feeder flights for WestJet. Service was originally planned to commence March 7, 2018, but was delayed until June 21, 2018.[2] The brand was created to primarily connect smaller cities in western Canada with WestJet's domestic hubsatCalgary International Airport and Vancouver International Airport[3] and stimulate air travel in smaller markets.[1] On May 13, 2024, WestJet announced that the brand would cease operation in the fall of 2024 and all operations would be transferred to the WestJet Encore brand.
WestJet Link connects the WestJet mainline service with 9 Destinations in British Columbia and Alberta. All flights operate into or out of Calgary International AirportorVancouver International Airport.[3]

Only the first two WestJet Link aircraft display the word 'Link' on the livery, the rest use the standard WestJet colours.[10] As of September 2023, Pacific Coastal Airlines had 5 Saab 340s painted and operating for WestJet Link.
