WestJet to expand service to Salt Lake City with new flights to Edmonton

Canada-based airline WestJet is expanding in 2025, bringing its international services to Salt Lake City. Starting in May, WestJet will offer a seasonal non-stop flight between Salt Lake City and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. WestJet will fly out of Salt Lake City five times weekly until the summer service ends in late October. Salt Lake City Department of Airports Executive Director Bill Wyatt said the city is thrilled to welcome WestJet, adding it would be the 15th airline serving the international airport. “Creating more connectivity between Salt Lake and Canada — one of Utah’s largest markets — will create a more seamless experience for passengers traveling to Alberta,” said Wyatt. Unfortunately, the seasonal flights mean Utah hockey fans won’t be able to take advantage of the nonstop flight when the Utah Hockey Club travels to take on the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 31 and again on March 18. However, there is still plenty to see and do in Canada’s “Festival City.”<br/>
