WestJet is bolstering its Canadian network for summer 2025, announcing several new and returning routes aimed at improving domestic connectivity and making it easier for Canadians to reach Europe through hubs in Halifax and St. John’s.
New non-stop service from Halifax to Saskatoon and Regina will take off for the first time, while the airline is also bringing back its seasonal Vancouver-Halifax flights.
A new connection between Winnipeg and St. John’s has also been added, alongside increased frequency on existing routes from Winnipeg and Edmonton to Halifax, and from Calgary to Deer Lake.
