MONCTON — WestJet welcomed political leaders and key stakeholders in Moncton yesterday to celebrate its upcoming winter season, which will include an extension of its key Moncton-Calgary route. 

As part of its winter season, which was unveiled earlier this week, the 2x/weekly Moncton-Calgary summer service, which saw exceptional demand and success this season, will now be offered on a year-round basis.

“Our new year-round service between Moncton and Calgary affirms our commitment to the city of Moncton and surrounding region and brings to life our commitment to expand east to west connectivity,” said Andrew Gibbons, WestJet Vice President, External Affairs. “By extending service between Moncton and Calgary to a year-round cadence, leisure, cargo and business economies in both cities will thrive like never before.”

WestJet’s investment in Moncton was celebrated yesterday, July 25, at a special event held in downtown Moncton alongside notable partners including Courtney Burns, President of the Greater Moncton International Authority, Inc., John Wishart, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Moncton (CCGM), and Yvon LaPierre, Mayor of Dieppe.

“We are thrilled with WestJet’s announcement to continue its non-stop direct service between Calgary and Greater Moncton year-round,” said Burns. “Two nonstop direct flights per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays will allow both business and leisure travellers to conveniently experience what each amazing destination has to offer.”
