WestJet has announced route details for its new non-stop service to London's Heathrow Airport (LHR), from the airline's largest global hub in Calgary.
Flights will operate four-times weekly, beginning March 26, 2022 and are available to book as of today.
From March 28 through October 28, 2022, a WestJet 787 will depart Calgary on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Return flights will leave Heathrow on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Flight times have not yet been announced.
"As the airline with the most flights from Alberta, this is an important recovery milestone as we forge new connections between Canada and one of the world's most sought-after global hubs," said John Weatherill, WestJet Chief Commercial Officer.
"We continue to strengthen our network, offering more options for business and leisure travellers and these investments will expedite our industry's recovery while ensuring Western Canada builds back from the pandemic more connected than ever before."
WestJet's newest route will operate next spring on the airline's 787 Dreamliner, featuring a Business Cabin including lie-flat pods and dining on demand. The service will also offer Premium and Economy cabin options.
With the addition of Heathrow to WestJet's network this spring, WestJet will connect Calgary to 77 non-stop destinations throughout the year. WestJet will also continue to offer non-stop flights between Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax to London Gatwick.
