CALGARY — WestJet today announced significant increases to its summer schedule, bringing more seats and additional flight frequencies to popular routes across its network.

With nearly 600 daily departures during peak travel days, WestJet’s summer schedule enhancements will bring more opportunities for Canadians to travel seamlessly across the airline’s domestic, transborder and international network this summer, says said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer.

“Providing our guests with even more opportunity to travel across our network this summer comes as a result of a thoughtfully designed schedule that balances the high demand for travel alongside a reliable and resilient operation,” said Weatherill. “With more seats available for booking and added capacity on popular routes, our summer schedule reflects a strengthened commitment to providing seamless domestic and transborder connectivity for our guests.”

Today’s update comes on the heels of WestJet’s most recent look at its summer 2023 schedule, issued last month.
