Airline also further enhances global network through expanded codeshare partnership with Japan Airlines, adding new seamless connections within Japan between Tokyo and Osaka (Itami) and Nagoya.

CALGARY, AB, April 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, WestJet announced the expansion of non-stop service between Calgary and Tokyo's Narita International Airport to daily year-round through the winter schedule which begins on October 27, 2025. The airline attributes the increase of service to the continued success of the route on both sides of the Pacific, after first having increased to daily service for its 2025 summer schedule.

"Leveraging our Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, WestJet continues to strengthen Calgary's tourism pipeline with expanded Trans-Pacific service, creating new inroads for economic growth across Western Canada and beyond," said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "Today's announcement of our expansion to daily year-round service between Calgary and Tokyo further reaffirms our commitment to bolstering Canadians' access to Asia."
