WestJet cancels 2 Alberta to U.S. routes amid ‘shift in bookings’ to other destinations

WestJet has cancelled two direct routes from Alberta to the U.S. due to what the airline says is a shift in bookings away from American destinations. The Calgary-based airline says planned seasonal service between Calgary International Airport and New York’s LaGuardia Airport has been cancelled for the summer of 2025. WestJet has also suspended planned service between Edmonton and Orlando International Airport during the summer months. Impacted guests who planned to travel from YYC airport to LaGuardia have been made aware of the changes and are being given the option to fly into New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport instead, a WestJet spokesperson says. “WestJet has observed a shift in bookings from the U.S. toward other sun destinations such as Mexico and the Caribbean, and to transatlantic destinations,” reads a statement from spokesperson Josh Yeats. “It is common across the aviation industry to adjust schedules to service guest demand.”<br/>
