The carrier is operating a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the route, which is scheduled to operate three times a week from now until 27th October 27, 2024, when the seasonal service will be paused until its scheduled return in Spring 2025.
John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer said: "Canada and South Korea's decades-long history in mutual support, shared values, and bilateral trade initiatives have set the stage for WestJet's service to Seoul, marking a significant milestone in strengthening cultural exchange and economic ties between the two nations. Bringing an authentic, reliable and essential service offering to life was possible due to the collaboration and advocacy of our dedicated WestJetters, countless government agencies and stakeholders passionate about bringing our cultures closer together."
