This news comes along with the announcement that WestJet will be increasing service for the winter schedule including more flights from Calgary to Vancouver, Toronto, Fort McMurray, Kelowna, Brandon, Grande Prairie, Kitchener, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix, Palm Springs, Cancun and Cabo San Lucas. This will make connecting to Calgary for this new non-stop flight to Belize easier than ever.


In the press release, Brian Znotins, WestJet Vice-President, Network Planning, Alliances and Corporate Development said "We are pleased to announce new service to Belize as well as an additional 52 flights per week this winter which will help drive growth at the airport and in the community. As the carrier with more flights from Calgary International Airport than any other, we have designed our Calgary flight schedules to deliver 55 per cent more connecting itineraries which will help to launch new flights in future seasons and further expand our presence in YYC – a key driver in economic and employment growth in the city."
