WestJet is now flying Calgary to Seoul three times a week through October 2024, returning in Spring 2025.
"Canada and South Korea's decades-long history in mutual support, shared values, and bilateral trade initiatives have set the stage for WestJet's service to Seoul, marking a significant milestone in strengthening cultural exchange and economic ties between the two nations," said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "Bringing an authentic, reliable and essential service offering to life was possible due to the collaboration and advocacy of our dedicated WestJetters, countless government agencies and stakeholders passionate about bringing our cultures closer together."
WestJet service to Seoul will operate on the airline's 787 Dreamliner and guests will also have access to six additional cities across four Asian countries from Incheon International Airport (ICN) through WestJet's codeshare agreement with Korean Airlines.
"WestJet's brand-new service to Seoul will inspire Canadians to explore their horizons in South Korea with the convenience of flying a familiar airline. We have gone above and beyond to ensure all guests have an elevated experience onboard including introducing the option of western and Korean inflight meals, Korean entertainment options and onboard Korean announcements," concluded Weatherill.
Guests travelling out of WestJet's hub in Calgary can also connect to Tokyo and seven European destinations as part of the airline's international offerings. Earlier this month, WestJet also revealed plans to transition its seasonal service between Calgary and Tokyo.
