On Monday (February 9, 2026), WestJet announced an expansion of their domestic network with new nonstop summer service between Calgary (YYC) and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario (YAM), North Bay, Ontario (YYB) and Campbell River, British Columbia (YBL). WestJet is also adding nonstop seasonal service between Terrace, B.C. (YXT) and Edmonton (YEG), strengthening domestic connectivity within Western Canada. WestJet is also adding more flights between some of the most popular domestic routes between Eastern and Western Canada. The carrier will increase domestic capacity at Halifax Stanfield International Airport by almost 50 percent with significant increases in flight frequencies to Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Regina and Saskatoon.  WestJet is also doubling capacity between Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador and Calgary.


In Monday’s announcement, WestJet Group’s EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, John Weatherill, said,


“Adding these routes to our summer 2026 schedule reinforces WestJet’s commitment to strengthening regional connectivity and supporting tourism and economic growth across Canada.  The new routes will give guests from across Canada greater choice to explore their own backyard, as well as more efficient access to onward connections through WestJet's home province.”
