WestJet announces major expansion of domestic network for summer 2025

WestJet announced on Tuesday a major expansion of its domestic network with new non-stop service between Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and three Canadian cities for summer 2025.

The expansion includes all-new non-stop service from Saskatoon and Regina and the return of flights between Vancouver and Halifax. In addition, new flights between Winnipeg and St. John’s have been added to the extensive summer schedule.

The airline is also increasing frequency of its popular Halifax routes from Winnipeg and Edmonton, as well as between Calgary and Deer Lake.

“These routes bring greater choice to our guests across the country and make it easier for Canadians to access our expanding transatlantic network from Halifax and St. John’s,” said John Weatherill, WestJet’s executive vice-president and chief commercial officer. “As demand for summer travel continues to evolve, we are focused on flying people where they want to go, whether it's reuniting with loved ones in the prairies, exploring new sights in the Maritimes or seamlessly connecting to Europe.”
