WestJet is expanding gateways across Canada with five new sun routes this winter, including a brand-new route to Merida, Mexico (MID) starting 17DEC.
The route to MID from Calgary is the first time WestJet has flown to the city via its global hub at YYC, and is western Canada's only non-stop connection to the Yucatán's cultural capital.
The airline is also adding Regina-San Jose del Cabo (starting 14DEC), Winnipeg-Punta Cana (28NOV), Winnipeg-Belize City (14DEC) and Ottawa-Liberia (20DEC).
"These additions support the growing demand for options in Mexico and the Latin Caribbean, while sustainably expanding our schedule and managing our fleet during the peak winter travel season," said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer.
All the new routes will fly once weekly.
