CALGARY — WestJet is adding new U.S. destinations to its network for summer 2023.

WestJet has also announced enhanced domestic connectivity. The additions are part of WestJet’s new growth strategy, with a keen-eyed focus on Western Canada. With strengthened domestic and transborder connectivity, WestJet will increase its service up to nearly 30% in Calgary, 50%  in Edmonton and 10% in Vancouver when compared to 2022.

In total WestJet will debut 20 new routes and three new destinations in its summer 2023 transborder program.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our network and giving our guests substantial opportunity to explore the U.S., and Canada from coast-to-coast this summer,” said Alexis von Hoensbroech, WestJet Group CEO. “From increased domestic options to expanded regional and transborder connectivity throughout Western Canada, our summer schedule demonstrates our unwavering commitment to fulfilling the diverse needs of Canadian travellers and ensuring we are the friendly, reliable and affordable airline they love.”

NEW DESTINATIONS, MORE CONNECTIONS
