- Seasonal expansion to additional airport delivers optionality and choice to New York-destined travellers in time for the peak summer travel season
WestJet announced seasonal service between Calgary and New York LaGuardia, bolstering existing service from Calgary to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport and boosting non-stop travel capacity between the Empire State and WestJet’s Global Hub.
The decision to increase guest capacity from Calgary to New York underscores WestJet’s commitment to operating as Canada’s leading leisure carrier and comes as travel demand remains strong across North America, particularly during the busy summer season.
“There is a significant appetite for flights to New York, either for visiting the city itself to watch a Broadway show, concert, catch a Yankees game, visit Central Park, or just to connect onward,” said Daniel Fajardo, WestJet Vice-President of Network and Schedule Planning. “The addition of this route boosts our ability to meet this demand and provide guests with more options.”
Flights between Calgary and New York LaGuardia will be available for purchase starting at 10 a.m. MST on January 20, 2025, for travel during May 24 and August 30, while year-round flying remains in place connecting Calgary and New York through John F. Kennedy.
