WestJet and WestJet Vacations announced the introduction of seasonal non-stop service to two new international sun destinations in Mexico: Cancun and Puerto Vallarta.
These new sun destinations are part of WestJet's enhanced winter schedule, which also includes increased frequency to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Palm Springs, Orlando, Honolulu, Maui, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan (Mexico), and Nassau (Bahamas) from many cities across Canada.
Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President of Guest Experience and Marketing said, "Cancun and Puerto Vallarta are huge additions to our network that truly show the progression of our international expansion into sun spots. "The increasing number of international sun destinations in our winter schedule reflects our goal to make WestJet and WestJet Vacations the leading airline and vacation provider into Mexico and the Caribbean."
Bob Cummings said, "Our winter schedule responds to Canadian travellers' needs by allocating approximately 30% of our scheduled capacity to our 22 destinations in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean," "WestJet's unique guest experience, award-winning culture and high-value low-cost model will enable us to strategically increase our international presence in the years ahead."
As of Nov-08, WestJet will fly to 51 destinations, 22 of which are sun destinations in the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean. By 2013, WestJet will fly to over 65 scheduled destinations.
WestJet is adding several new non-stop routes this winter as well, including Edmonton to Los Angeles, London to Orlando and Ottawa to Nassau. Bob Cummings said, "The addition of non-stop service is a very significant step," "Historically, every time we have added a new non-stop route, we have significantly increased the number of guests traveling from the originating city to that destination. Our guests truly appreciate being able to travel non-stop."
