WestJet to start seasonal Fredericton-Calgary flights in June

WestJet will operate new non-stop, twice-weekly seasonal service between Fredericton and Calgary starting this June, the airline announced Tuesday (April 9). 

"The addition of service between Fredericton and Calgary is a testament to our ongoing commitment to deliver on our promise to expand our service in Atlantic Canada through critical east-to-west connectivity, which has been met with strong community support," said Andrew Gibbons, WestJet's vice-president of external affairs. 

"The route we are celebrating today will not only foster enhanced business and leisure ties but further strengthen the connection between the vibrant and unique economies in both Fredericton and Calgary."

The service between Fredericton and Calgary is in addition to WestJet's previously announced summer schedule for Atlantic Canada, featuring over 25 non-stop routes connecting six Atlantic markets across Canada and beyond.

Guests travelling from Atlantic Canada will also be one stop away from accessing WestJet's list of global destinations, including to Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea and Tokyo's Narita International Airport through WestJet's global hub in Calgary.
