WestJet's largest-ever Winnipeg winter schedule brings 36 per cent capacity growth to Richardson International Airport

WestJet has revealed highlights of its Winnipeg winter 2024/2025 flight schedule, outlining significant growth and commitment to the region, boosting its overall capacity by 36 per cent compared to winter 2023. 

Passengers departing from Winnipeg will have access to 21 nonstop WestJet destinations this winter, including new routes to Montreal, Fort Lauderdale and San Jose del Cabo, with 24 daily departures during peak season.

"Winnipeg will see the largest increase in WestJet capacity across any airport in Western Canada next winter, highlighting our commitment to meeting the community's growing demand for business and leisure travel," said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "This schedule was thoughtfully designed not only to provide Winnipeggers with unmatched access to transborder and sun destinations, but also to optimize schedules to stimulate critical business ties between the region and major Canadian and U.S. cities."

"We're proud to be a longtime cornerstone of WestJet's network and are thankful for their strong, continued commitment to our community," said Nick Hays, Winnipeg Airports Authority President & CEO. "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. We're excited about what the future holds as we continue to work with WestJet to further grow our partnership to support our community."

Unlocking Canada like never before through significant domestic growth

Building on the momentum of WestJet's summer schedule currently in service, the airline will increase domestic frequencies by 44 per cent on nine routes that are critical to Manitoba's capital city.
