WestJet Adds Direct Flight Linking Calgary to Fredericton

Canadian airline WestJet is growing its network with new routes, including a seasonal non-stop flight between Calgary and Fredericton. 

On April 9, WestJet unveiled the new twice-weekly direct flight, which will operate from June 20 to Oct. 28.

“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 vice-president of external affairs.

The Fredericton to Calgary service is in addition to WestJet’s previously announced summer 2024 schedule for Atlantic Canada, featuring over 25 non-stop routes connecting six Atlantic markets across Canada and beyond.

The news comes just one day after the airline announced new routes for Winnipeg: a new year-round daily service to Montreal, and increased daily year-round service to Ottawa, beginning June 3. 

WestJet also revealed it will become the only airline providing direct connectivity between Winnipeg and Nashville this fall, thanks to a new highly anticipated seasonal service between Manitoba’s capital city and Tennessee’s Music City, beginning Sept. 16 and ending Nov. 15.

“Strong air connectivity unlocks a world of opportunities for all those who live and work in Manitoba, allowing them to embark on bold journeys while growing their roots at home,” said Nick Hays, Winnipeg Airports Authority president & CEO. “We’re greatly appreciative of WestJet’s unwavering commitment to our community.”
