WestJet has today announced their winter 2025/26 flying program, which features five new destinations, increased service to sunny destinations across the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean, and daily service between Calgary and Tokyo-Narita.
On Monday (July 7, 2025), WestJet unveiled their winter 2025/26 schedule, which features five new destinations, and a three percent year-over-year increase in capacity. The schedule also includes increased service from key Canadian airports to sunny destinations across Latin America and the Caribbean. For the upcoming winter season, WestJet will serve a total of 305 routes, including 62 routes to the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean. New destinations this winter include Panama City (Panama), Guadalajara (Mexico), Tepic/Nayarit (Mexico), Havana (Cuba), and Managua (Nicaragua). Additionally, the schedule marks Mexico City’s first winter season since becoming a year-round service. Seat capacity to Latin America and the Caribbean will also grow by six percent this year, with a focus on Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico.
In Tuesday’s announcement, WestJet Group’s EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, John Weatherill, said,
“Canadians want value while escaping the cold, and WestJet's 2025/2026 winter schedule delivers on both affordability and choice. By expanding our sun network, strengthening key routes and growing strategically across Canada and internationally, WestJet is coming through for Canadians by connecting them to the destinations they love at prices they can afford. In fact, 71 per cent of WestJet's non-stop services are currently priced lower than they were in 2024.
“We’re prioritizing flexibility, optionality and value to meet Canadians’ demand to visit warm weather destinations. With a peak of over 4,300 weekly departures to 106 destinations planned this winter, there’s something for everyone!”
In addition to the expansion of service to sunny destinations, WestJet is also continuing to grow service to other international markets. The carrier will increase service between Calgary and Tokyo-Narita from three to seven weekly flights, enabling daily connectivity to Asia. WestJet’s full winter 2025/26 schedule will be available for booking from July 14, 2025.
