Beginning May 14, WestJet will operate five weekly flights between Calgary and Mexico City – a route last served in 2018. With the addition of Mexico City, The WestJet Group, including Sunwing Airlines, will serve 13 cities in Mexico from 24 Canadian cities in 2025 with more than 200 flights per week during peak travel periods.

In 2024, the WestJet Group flew an average of 46 flights per day between Canada and Mexico, carrying more than 2.6 million guests to and from the country.

“WestJet’s continued investment in popular sun destinations had made us the gateway between Canada and Mexico, bolstering both countries vital commercial and tourism economies,” said Daniel Fajardo, WestJet, VP of Network and Schedule Planning. “Service between Calgary and Mexico City opens the door for more Western Canadians to explore Mexico’s vibrant culture and history, while boosting trade and tourism across North America.”

Aeromexico

WestJet and Mexico’s flag carrier, Aeromexico, have had an extensive partnership since 2011. Through their longstanding partnership, WestJet offers guests more access to Mexico’s diverse destinations.

Guests travelling from Calgary can also book to connect seamlessly beyond Mexico City with WestJet partner Aeromexico to major destinations such as Chihuahua, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Merida and Monterrey with a single check-in.

WestJet’s non-stop flight to Mexico City is just one of many new direct services launching this spring. WestJet will fly to six new destinations from YYC Calgary International Airport alone, growing its presence at the airline’s global hub by 11% compared to last year. WestJet’s fulsome summer 2025 schedule is now available at WestJet.com.
