WestJet Adds New U.S. Destinations

WestJet is expanding its flights to the United States for the summer of 2025 with a series of new routes. As reported by Ishrion Aviation and AeroRoutes, the planned additions include three new destinations for the Canadian airline.

Two of the new routes will be operated from WestJet’s home base at Calgary International Airport. A new route to Anchorage is slated to begin On June 29, 2025. The seasonal flight will be operated three times per week until the end of August.

The second new route is between Calgary and Raleigh/Durham. This route will also be flown three times per week starting on June 30, 2025. Both Anchorage and Raleigh/Durham will be new airports for the carrier.

WestJet will also start flying from Edmonton to Chicago O’Hare and Salt Lake City. Thrice weekly flights to Chicago will begin on June 4, 2025 while service to Salt Lake City will start on May 15, 2025 with five weekly flights. The Salt Lake City route will be WestJet’s first route to the airport.

More Vancouver Service

Additionally, the airline will introduce two transborder routes from Vancouver. Flights to Boston are set to start on June 9, 2025.

Initially, the route will be flown four times per week. The frequency will increase to daily during the peak of the summer, before being reduced back down to four weekly flights by the end of September. WestJet’s second new route out of Vancouver will be to Tampa, with one weekly flight starting on June 14, 2025.

Flights will be operated by WestJet’s fleet of Boeing 737NG and 737 MAX aircraft. As a result of WestJet’s partnership with Delta, the new flights will also carry Delta codes. The new routes to Boston and Salt Lake City will connect two of Delta’s hubs to additional Canadian destinations.
