On Tuesday (September 12, 2023), WestJet announced the launch of exclusive new transborder service between Kelowna and Las Vegas, which will be operated twice weekly from December 15, 2023. The new route becomes the carrier’s second transborder route from Kelowna, joining nonstop weekly service to Phoenix, Arizona.
In Tuesday’s route announcement, WestJet’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, John Weatherill, said,
“WestJet is proud to add yet another transborder connection to our winter schedule, between Kelowna and Las Vegas, as we continue to provide guests across Canada with even more affordable and accessible opportunities to escape the cold and find the sun this winter.”
Also commenting on the new route, Kelowna International Airport’s Chief Executive Officer, Sam Samaddar, added,
“WestJet's unwavering commitment to our region exemplifies the power of partnership in fostering our economic position. With WestJet's ambitious growth strategy taking flight, we eagerly anticipate the benefits it will bring, strengthening our ties and ensuring YLW continues to be the Okanagan's link to the world.”
In 27 years of service, WestJet has cut airfares for Canadians in half and increased the flying population around Canada by over 50 percent. The airline launched in 1996 with three aircraft, 250 employees and five destinations, and has now grown to more than 180 aircraft and 14,000 employees, offering service to over 110 destinations in 24 countries.
