WestJet Expands Domestic Service from Calgary

WestJet is expanding its domestic network with new non-stop summer service from Calgary (YYC) to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario (YAM); North Bay, Ontario (YYB); and Campbell River, British Columbia (YBL). The airline is also introducing new seasonal non-stop service between Terrace, B.C. (YXT) and Edmonton (YEG), further strengthening connectivity within Western Canada.

The new routes enhance access from Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay and Campbell River to WestJet’s global hub in Calgary, providing seamless connections to destinations across the Americas, Europe and Asia. At the same time, they open up easier travel opportunities for Alberta-based travellers looking to explore lesser-known destinations in British Columbia and Ontario.

“Adding these routes to our summer 2026 schedule reinforces WestJet’s commitment to strengthening regional connectivity and supporting tourism and economic growth across Canada,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “The new routes will give guests from across Canada greater choice to explore their own backyard, as well as more efficient access to onward connections through WestJet’s home province.”

Beyond the four new routes, WestJet is boosting frequencies on several of its most popular domestic services between Eastern and Western Canada. Domestic capacity at Halifax Stanfield International Airport will increase by nearly 50 per cent, with additional flights to Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Regina and Saskatoon. The airline is also doubling capacity between Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Calgary.

The increased domestic routes were announced on the heels of trimming its transborder schedule due to softening demand.
