WestJet’s Summer 2025 Schedule Adds Five New Destinations, 11 Routes

WestJet unveiled its full summer 2025 schedule today, announcing plans to significantly expand its network with five new destinations and 11 new routes across North America.

In total, the airline’s 2025 summer schedule will feature a 10% network-wide expansion, including 12% domestic growth in key cities such as Calgary (11%), Edmonton (23%), Montreal (31%), Ottawa (36%), Vancouver (12%), and Winnipeg (19%).

The schedule adds two new domestic destinations—Sudbury, Ontario, and Sydney, Nova Scotia—and three new transborder destinations: Anchorage, Alaska; Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; and Salt Lake City, Utah.

WestJet is also enhancing its international service outside the U.S., adding nonstop flights between St. John’s and Paris, Halifax and Paris, and St. John’s and Dublin. These flights join extended service between Halifax and Edinburgh and Dublin (starting one month earlier than in 2024) and increased flights between St. John’s and London Gatwick (up from three times weekly to four).

In its announcement, WestJet said the new routes and destinations were made possible by an expanded fleet, which now includes aircraft from Swoop and Sunwing, as well as nine leased Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes.

“WestJet’s expanded summer schedule reflects our continued commitment to connecting Canadians by increasing our domestic and international capacity. In Canada alone, we are growing capacity by 12 percent, operating to 41 airports with over 3,000 weekly departures,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Group executive vice president and chief commercial officer.
