WestJet says it’s adding new winter flights to the island of Grenada, as well as to Tulum, Mexico. It’s also enhancing its transborder offerings with new flights to FLL from YVR and YWG.

"Our strategy to establish the WestJet Group as Canada's western leader and national leisure champion is working, as we continue to offer the most robust and affordable coast-to-coast schedule, fine-tuned to meet the needs of Canadian travellers," said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "Cementing our position as the country's leading leisure airline, the WestJet Group will provide more seat capacity than any other airline to sun destinations this winter."

"The introduction of service to Tulum's newly-opened international airport from Calgary and Toronto solidifies WestJet's position as Canada’s top choice for Riviera Maya travel,” officials said. “In addition to the strongest schedule, WestJet Vacations will offer packages to 35 major hotels in close proximity to the Aeropuerto Internacional de Tulum Felipe Carillo (TQO).”

This winter, WestJet will also add once-weekly service from Kelowna to Mazatlán and Winnipeg to Los Cabos.
