WestJet bolsters Calgary-Japan flights with daily year-round service

WestJet is expanding its non-stop service between Calgary and Tokyo's Narita International Airport to daily year-round through the winter schedule, which begins on October 27, 2025.

The airline attributes the increase of service to the continued success of the route on both sides of the Pacific, after first having increased to daily service for its 2025 summer schedule.

"Leveraging our Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, WestJet continues to strengthen Calgary's tourism pipeline with expanded Trans-Pacific service, creating new inroads for economic growth across Western Canada and beyond," said John Weatherill, WestJet’s EVP and CCO, in a press release. "Today's announcement of our expansion to daily year-round service between Calgary and Tokyo further reaffirms our commitment to bolstering Canadians' access to Asia."

Expanded codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines 

Through WestJet's codeshare with Japan Airlines, guests connecting from Tokyo Narita (NRT) will now have seamless access to two additional Japanese destinations:­ Osaka (Itami) and Nagoya. 

Guests exploring these unique destinations will enjoy a single purchased ticket, booked through WestJet, including baggage transfers and the ability to earn WestJet Dollars throughout their journey.

"These additional options to connect, made possible by our codeshare partnership with Japan Airlines, expands WestJet's global codeshare network and will open doors for guests looking for convenient and affordable ways to explore popular destinations across Japan," said Weatherill.
