“Building on the announcement of our new direct service from Calgary to Panama City, this new interline partnership agreement will increase access to destinations across Central and South America for Canadian travellers,” said John Weatherill, WestJet executive VP and CCO. 

“We remain focused on connecting guests to the world's most popular sun and leisure destinations this winter, while also meeting the needs of business travellers by continuing to provide convenient access to some of South America's largest markets.”

WestJet’s new Calgary–Panama City route will begin December 13, 2025, operating four times weekly. 

WestJet guests can enjoy a connected itinerary between WestJet and Copa Airlines' networks with single point check-in.
