The president and CEO of the Saint John Airport Authority, Bernard Leblanc says the airline told him just before Christmas that it would not be back in May to offer its seasonal service to Toronto.
LeBlanc says traffic was down about 20 per cent last year over previous years.
The airline began offering flights to Toronto from May to October in 2007.
The loss of WestJet means Saint John now has two carriers........ Air Canada Jazz and during the winter, Sunwing.
Saint John Board of Trade president Imelda Gilman calls the news ``disappointing.''
