WestJet's Winter 787 Schedule Features More Europe, Mexico and Hawaii

The WestJet Group has announced significant enhancements to its transoceanic and leisure travel offering with its winter 787 schedule, revealing expanded year-round service between YYC and Tokyo’s NRT, as well as increased daily connectivity to LHR and CDG.

The Calgary-based airline also is enhancing its Boeing 787 presence on popular leisure routes with service between Canada, Mexico and Hawaii.

"Our 787 winter schedule reflects the growing demand for year-round international options for business and leisure travellers from our global hub in Calgary to Asia, Europe, and North America," said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "We will continue to strategically position our Dreamliners to provide the best global access between Western Canada and the world."

Year-round service to Tokyo, Unlocked

Building on the existing summer seasonal service, WestJet is investing in year-round service between Calgary and Tokyo. The service enhancement is a strategic milestone for the airline, bringing more visitors to Alberta and strengthening global tourism opportunities, while preserving Calgary's position as “the most connected mid-sized city in North America.”

Through WestJet's longstanding codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines, guests will also have access to seven destinations beyond Tokyo.

"This winter, WestJet will fly more than 60,000 seats between Asia and Alberta, creating a catalyst for year-round collaboration between our two unique economies and tourism hubs,” said Weatherill. "This route has proven to be an exceptional conduit for transpacific leisure and business travellers connecting to Calgary and Alberta."

WestJet will begin three flights a week between YYC and NRT on 27OCT, 2024.

This winter, WestJet is bolstering its European winter service offering with daily connectivity to both LHR and CDG from the airline's global hub at YYC. While these routes were previously served throughout the winter, frequency to Paris has been increased to daily to match London, and to meet the unprecedented demand for business and leisure travel between Western Canada and Europe. Guests will also benefit from WestJet's codeshare agreement with Air France, which unlocks 53 additional European destinations beyond Paris.

Daily flights between Calgary and London, and also between Calgary and Pari, begin 27OCT, 2024.

In line with The WestJet Group's strategy, the airline said it’s committed to providing Canadians with more affordable leisure travel options than any other carrier in the country. This winter, the airline is deploying its 787 aircraft on some of its most in-demand leisure routes, including doubling its capacity between YYC and CUN to twice daily and increasing to daily service between YYC and PVR.
