To the point
Starting in May 2024, WestJet will add Seoul, South Korea to its destinations from Calgary airport. The non-stop flights, running three times a week, will be operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. For the occasion, WestJet is launching a contest for a chance to win a round-trip flight to Seoul.
Today, Canadian airline WestJet announces the addition of Seoul-Incheon (ICN) to its destinations from Calgary International Airport (YYC). This is the second Asian destination served by WestJet, after Tokyo-Narita (NRT). With these flights, the company aims to make Calgary its hub between Canada and Asia.
As a Hub for connecting travellers to people and places around the world we are excited to welcome WestJet’s new route between YYC and South Korea’s Incheon International Airport. The expansion provides additional opportunities for guests to explore the sites and experiences offered by these two incredible regions and illustrates YYC’s strength as an international gateway,
