This new route aligns with WestJet’s strategy to transform Calgary into a significant intercontinental hub. The service will operate three times a week, featuring the comfort of WestJet’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline expects to open bookings for these flights in early 2024, subject to approval from regulatory authorities.
The planned schedule includes flights from Calgary to Seoul beginning May 17, 2024, and from Seoul to Calgary starting May 18, 2024. The service will run three times a week, with departures from Calgary at 17:55 and arrivals in Seoul at 20:45 the following day. Return flights will leave Seoul at 22:45, arriving in Calgary at 18:15. These times and frequencies await approval from Transport Canada and the South Korean Government.

To mark the launch of this new Asia route, WestJet has announced the “Feed Your Seoul” sweepstakes. This contest offers a chance to win a round-trip for two to Seoul from any WestJet destination in Canada. The sweepstakes, which is open to all legal residents of Canada (excluding Quebec), runs from December 14, 2023, to January 4, 2024. Entrants must be over the legal age of majority in their province or territory of residence.
Additionally, WestJet is boosting its connections to Asia by increasing the frequency of its Calgary to Tokyo’s Narita International Airport service to daily flights. This expansion aims to strengthen business links across the Pacific and offer more opportunities for travellers to experience the diverse cultures, landscapes, and histories of Asia.
