WestJet will operate 23 non-stop routes from Winnipeg this winter, including to 15 destinations in Mexico, Latin America, Caribbean, and to US sun. Additionally, WestJet is adding more non-stop service to Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, increasing overall sun destination flying from Winnipeg by 14 per cent, compared to 2024.
"I am pleased to announce that we will once again be expanding our extensive network of sun destinations from Winnipeg this winter," said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "WestJet's all new service between Winnipeg and Liberia reflects our commitment to offering more convenient options for guests seeking sun-filled escapes this winter. WestJet guests departing from Winnipeg have come to expect affordable, non-stop service to key destinations, and our winter 2025/2026 schedule delivers on both."
