WestJet announced a major expansion of its domestic network with new non-stop service between Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and three Canadian cities for summer 2025.
The expansion includes all-new non-stop service from Saskatoon and Regina and the return of flying between Vancouver and Halifax. In addition, new flights between Winnipeg and St. John’s have been added to the extensive summer schedule. WestJet is also increasing frequency on its popular Halifax routes from Winnipeg and Edmonton, as well as between Calgary and Deer Lake.
“These routes bring greater choice to our guests across the country and make it easier for Canadians to access our expanding transatlantic network from Halifax and St. John’s,” said John Weatherill, WestJet executive vice-president and chief commercial officer. “As demand for summer travel continues to evolve, we are focused on flying people where they want to go, whether it’s reuniting with loved ones in the prairies, exploring new sights in the Maritimes or seamlessly connecting to Europe.”
The domestic service enhancements are strategically designed to facilitate seamless, one-stop connectivity to WestJet’s direct flights from Halifax and St. John’s to Europe, including Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin, Edinburgh and London, offering more options for guests looking to explore across the Atlantic.
“St. John’s International Airport is thrilled with WestJet’s commitment to directly connect St. John’s and Winnipeg,” commented St. John’s International Airport CEO, Dennis Hogan. “This brand new, non-stop route offers further choice to passengers in the summer months and strengthens WestJet’s commitment to our region.”
