WestJet’s winter schedule for Winnipeg grows by a third
2 minute read 10:59 AM CDTWestJet will increase its Winnipeg winter schedule by more than one third compared with the same time last year, the airline announced Monday.
WestJet said it is boosting its schedule by 36 per cent compared with last winter. The increase includes new routes to Montreal, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and San Jose del Cabo, a resort city on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
“This significant increase in flights will not only enhance our connectivity but also strengthen the local economy by providing more opportunities for everyone who lives and works here,” Nick Hays, Winnipeg Airports Authority president and CEO, said in a news release.
The new hot spot routes were announced in May. The airline announced in April that it will begin offering daily year-round flights from Winnipeg to Montreal and Ottawa, and seasonal flights to Nashville.
