WestJet brings back 17 routes to sun destinations

WestJet Airlines will resume service to 17 sun and leisure routes that had been suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

John Weatherill, WestJet's executive vice-president and chief commercial officer, said in a press release Monday that the returning routes, which will see flights to Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the U.S., are another positive step for the airline as it restores its network.

“We recognize the past three winters have been disruptive to our guests travel plans and we look forward to reconnecting Canadians to some of the warmer destinations they have missed the most,” Weatherill said. 

Restart dates range from Oct. 31, 2022 to March 19, 2023.
