The summer of 2025 will be multifaceted for WestJet, which is returning to the skies of Rome with flights from Canada.
WestJet is focusing on long-haul destinations
This return is part of the airline’s strategy focusing on domestic and long-haul international connections “in response to changing market dynamics, which have prompted all Canadian carriers to make changes to their networks and reconsider their passenger capacity plans.” A clear reference to the decline in demand for cross-border travel to the United States from Canada.
Over 90 destinations in Canada, the US and beyond
Since the beginning of April the airline has resumed flights to Rome Fiumicino with direct services from Calgary, which will operate until 16 November, again with the B787 configured in business, premium, economy comfort and economy classes. From the Calgary hub, Italian passengers then have connecting flights to over 90 destinations in Canada, the United States and beyond. And this year, the Canadian airline has also started offering free high-speed internet access to passengers.
