WestJet’s Top International Routes 2025
WestJet international routes are showing a clear rebound in 2025, driven by rising transatlantic and US–Canada demand.
New data for 2025 highlights that WestJet’s international network is again central to the airline’s recovery strategy, with passenger flows climbing between Canada, the United States and Europe. The pattern points to strong leisure and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) travel, plus renewed business travel on key corridors linking North America and Europe.
Airline planners and analysts say the trends are helping WestJet prioritize capacity and seasonal frequency across its map. While specific flight numbers and aircraft rotations vary by market and season, carriers commonly adjust schedules to match summer peaks and shoulder-season demand — a dynamic WestJet has clearly leaned into this year.
Why WestJet international routes matter for 2025
Transatlantic links and cross-border services drive higher yield opportunities as international travel recovers. For WestJet, those routes not only bring tourists but also support connecting traffic and codeshare partnerships that boost load factors and ancillary revenue. The broader picture shows carriers refining networks to capture mobility between major population centres in Canada, the US and Europe.
- Revenue impact: WestJet international routes are central to route planning and revenue diversification in 2025.
- Seasonality: Summer peaks and holiday periods remain key demand drivers for transatlantic services.
- Network strategy: Cross-border links support connecting traffic and partnership opportunities with US and European carriers.
Looking ahead, continued monitoring of demand—especially around high-season windows and event-driven travel—will shape frequency and aircraft deployment. For travellers, more predictable transatlantic and cross-border schedules mean better connectivity; for WestJet, it means a clearer path to rebuilding international yields after the pandemic-era disruption.
