WestJet has announced additions to its Winnipeg network, featuring new year-round, daily service to Montreal, as well as increased, daily, year-round service to Ottawa, beginning June 3. The airline also announced new seasonal service between Winnipeg and Nashville, set to take off on Sept. 16.

The twice-weekly service (through Nov. 15) to Music City is WestJet’s seventh direct transborder connection out of Manitoba’s capital.

WestJet’s ongoing commitment to enhancing Winnipeg’s growing network of air connectivity, central to the airline’s ambitious growth strategy, was on display at a special event hosted at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, attended by the Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, and Nick Hays, President and CEO, Winnipeg Airports Authority.

“We know how critical Ottawa and Montreal are for Winnipeg’s business community, and we are thrilled to continue supporting Winnipeg’s economic growth through strategic air service,” said Mike Scott, WestJet Group Executive VP and CFO. “Expanding connectivity for Winnipeg is in direct response to our WestJet Rewards members and loyal business guests’ need for reliable and convenient, non-stop service to and from both Ottawa and Montreal.”
