WestJet has released its summer schedule for 2025, featuring 10% growth network wide and domestic growth of 12%. Highlights include two new domestic and three new transborder destinations, along with 11 new routes across its network.

In total, the airline will operate to 41 airports with over 3,000 weekly departures. Among the highlights are:

• Service from new domestic destinations Sudbury, Ont., and Sydney, NS, will connect the cities twice weekly to WestJet’s Calgary hub
• Double-digit increases in total seat capacity across 10 major Canadian airports, notably Edmonton (23%), Montreal (31%), Ottawa (31%), Regina (23%), and Saskatoon, Victoria and Winnipeg (18-19%)
• Increased summer connectivity to the US from Western Canadian gateways and via major Delta hubs, including four new routes to Florida
• Growing its transatlantic service from Eastern Canada, WestJet will introduce non-stop connectivity between St. John’s and Paris and welcome back service between Halifax and Paris and St. John’s and Dublin, this summer. Additionally, WestJet will enhance its existing transatlantic connectivity, beginning its service between Halifax and Edinburgh and Dublin one month earlier than 2024, while increasing St. John’s previous service to London (Gatwick) from three-times weekly to four-times weekly.
• Growing its global hub’s transpacific service, WestJet will maintain its daily service to Tokyo next summer, while increasing Calgary’s capacity serving Incheon.

WestJet says that its acquisition of nine leased Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, along with Swoop and Sunwing planes, allows it to bolster its strategic fleet growth, while managing delays for direct-from-factory aircraft.

It further adds that updating and refreshing the interior cabins of all of these aircraft will be prioritized as part of the airline’s existing fleet reconfiguration plans.
