WestJet adds direct connectivity between Seoul & Calgary

WestJet recently added direct connectivity between Seoul and Calgary to its summer 2024 schedule.

With service three days per week this summer, guests travelling between Calgary and Seoul will enjoy the luxuries of WestJet’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Subject to regulatory approvals, the airline anticipates flights to be available for booking in early 2024 and is inviting Canadians to win a round-trip flight to Seoul and be notified when flights are made available for sale.

“It is with great pleasure that WestJet will serve as Alberta’s only direct link to South Korea, furthering our 787 global connectivity from our home city of Calgary. Beyond creating greater two-way tourism opportunities, WestJet service between Seoul and Calgary will increase connectivity between Western Canada and Asia generating unique business and cargo opportunities,” said John Weatherill, WestJet group executive vice-president and chief commercial officer. “We saw tremendous success with the launch of service to Asia last summer and anticipate our entry into Seoul will be warmly welcomed by Canadians.”

In celebration of the new route to Asia, WestJet has introduced a contest for a chance to win a round-trip flight for two from any Canadian WestJet destination to Seoul.

Additionally, by signing up for the contest, guests will be notified when tickets are available for sale once regulatory approval is secured.

Enhancing Alberta’s connectivity to Asia

In addition to launching service between Calgary and Seoul, WestJet has also introduced enhanced connectivity between its global hub in Calgary and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport this summer, with frequency expanding to daily service.

The service expansion comes as WestJet furthers its support of establishing business ties across the Pacific and providing more options than ever before to explore the continent’s extraordinary culture, vast landscapes and rich history.
