WestJet is set to boost service from Ottawa to Calgary and Edmonton next summer.

The Canadian airline announced its summer 2025 schedule on Wednesday, which includes a 36 per cent increase in seat capacity out of the Ottawa International Airport.

The 2025 summer schedule will see the number of flights between Ottawa and Calgary increase to 26 a week starting next summer.  WestJet will also boost the number of weekly trips between Ottawa and Edmonton to 13 times a week.

"WestJet has been a long-standing and successful partner at YOW," Joel Tkach, vice-president of Business development and Marketing at the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said in a statement.

"This significant increase in service to their Calgary hub not only enhances non-stop access to YYC but also opens up a wide range of destinations across WestJet's extensive western network."

WestJet also announced plans to launch a new Calgary-Sudbury route, starting on June 12, 2025.
