CALGARY — WestJet is making it easier for Canadians to access Asia with newly expanded nonstop service between Calgary and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport (NRT).

Service has been enhanced to daily year-round through the winter schedule, which begins on Oct. 27, 2025.

According to John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer, the increase of service can be attributed to the continued success of the route on both sides of the Pacific, after first having increased to daily service for its 2025 summer schedule.

“Leveraging our Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, WestJet continues to strengthen Calgary’s tourism pipeline with expanded Trans-Pacific service, creating new inroads for economic growth across Western Canada and beyond,” said Weatherill. “Today’s announcement of our expansion to daily year-round service between Calgary and Tokyo further reaffirms our commitment to bolstering Canadians’ access to Asia.”

The Calgary-Tokyo route originally runs from March 30 to Oct. 26, 2025. With the expansion, it will now run from Oct. 27, 2025 to March 29, 2026.

EXPANDED CODESHARE WITH JAPAN AIRLINES

Through WestJet’s longstanding codeshare partnership with Japan Airlines, guests connecting from Tokyo Narita will now have seamless access to two additional destinations in Japan: Osaka (Itami) and Nagoya. Guests will enjoy the convenience of a single purchased ticket, booked through WestJet, including baggage transfers and the ability to earn WestJet Dollars throughout their journey.

“These additional options to connect, made possible by our codeshare partnership with Japan Airlines, expands WestJet’s global codeshare network and will open doors for guests looking for convenient and affordable ways to explore popular destinations across Japan,” added Weatherill.
