WestJet revealed its summer 2026 network schedule with five new seasonal international destinations from Toronto, three new transatlantic destinations from Halifax as well as new domestic and Nordic connections from Western Canada.
From Toronto Pearson International Airport, the carrier will add three new international destinations: Medellin, Colombia, beginning April 28; Cardiff, Wales, starting May 22; and Ponta Delgada in the Portuguese Azores as of June 12.
WestJet also will launch summer service to Reykjavik, Iceland, from two Canadian cities. Flights from Edmonton are scheduled to begin June 26, while flights from Winnipeg are to start June 27. Each route will operate once weekly with Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
In addition, WestJet will introduce four new destinations from Halifax. Service to Lisbon, Portugal, is scheduled to begin May 1, flights to Madrid, Spain, will start May 15, and flights to Copenhagen will begin May 28. Each of the three European routes will operate four times weekly.
Jon Bridge, chief executive officer of Cardiff Airport, said the new Toronto-Cardiff service “marks a major step forward in expanding Wales’ global connectivity, strengthening tourism, business and cultural links with Canada.”
WestJet is also resuming service between Toronto and Glasgow, Scotland.
“Canada has long been a key inbound market for Scottish tourism, with strong family ties driving repeat visits and enabling travellers to spend time with loved ones,” said Denise Hill, VisitScotland’s head of business development and intermediary marketing.
The Toronto-Cardiff route will mark North America’s only direct flight to Wales.
“We’re thrilled to see WestJet expanding its international network from Toronto Pearson, including its first non-stop service to South America and the launch of North America’s only direct flight to Wales,” said Kurush Minocher, interim chief commercial officer at Toronto Pearson.
The remaining summer 2026 schedule will be announced early next year.
