Today, we announced we’re adding 20 new routes and three new destinations to our 2023 summer schedule. We’re growing our network by nearly 30 per cent in Calgary, 50 percent in Edmonton and 10 per cent in Vancouver when compared to 2022.
Expanded U.S. network and increased access to Delta hubs
Our summer schedule offers a comprehensive network of connectivity between Western Canada and the U.S. We’re providing new non-stop service to Washington Dulles, Detroit and Minneapolis, and adding new routes to Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Nashville and Seattle. We are also investing in new routes and restoring service to an expansive list of U.S. destinations.
Through our longstanding partnership with Delta Air Lines, guests connecting through Minneapolis and Detroit will gain access to two more of the U.S. airline’s major hubs. Building on our current service to Delta hubs, including Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle, WestJet guests will now have access to over 150 U.S. destinations on a single purchased ticket.
