CALGARY — WestJet is taking on NewLeaf with new flights from Edmonton to Hamilton and Winnipeg to Kelowna. Flights are available for sale today with service starting July 28.

“These are cities we presently serve yet don’t connect with non-stop flying,” said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Commercial. “These routes have been on our radar for a while now and with the busy summer flying season upon us, we examined our fleet plans to see if there was extra flying we could provide. Our guests can expect WestJet’s low fares on these routes.”

WestJet also announced enhanced schedules between Vancouver and Winnipeg, and Edmonton and Vancouver. Starting July 28 through Sept. 6, flights operating between Vancouver and Winnipeg will operate 24 times weekly. Flights between Edmonton and Vancouver will operate 54 times weekly. These new flights offer greater flexibility and more options during the peak summer travel period. Flights are available for purchase starting June 28.
