John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, said:
Canadians want value while escaping the cold, and WestJet’s 2025/2026 winter schedule delivers on both affordability and choice. By expanding our sun network, strengthening key routes and growing strategically across Canada and internationally, WestJet is coming through for Canadians by connecting them to the destinations they love at prices they can afford. In fact, 71 per cent of WestJet’s non-stop services are currently priced lower than they were in 2024.”
Anthony’s Take: WestJet is beefing up its flights to warm-weather destinations. It’s interesting to see the trend of not adding more capacity to the US continue given the current climate not changing.
