WestJet Cargo’s 2025/2026 winter schedule includes new destinations and more flights to existing destinations across Canada, Latin America, the US, the Caribbean, and Asia. It’s all about growth in the coming season – 3% on previous year, to be precise. That translates into 305 routes and services to 62 global destinations, “WestJet Cargo is providing Canadian businesses with more affordable and flexible shipping options than ever before. The company is also increasing capacity across the Latin America and Caribbean region by 6%, focusing on high-demand markets such as Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico to support growing trade volumes,” the release states. Based on import/export customer requirements, the airline is launching five new destinations: Panama City (Panama), Guadalajara and Tepic in Mexico, Havana (Cuba), and Managua (Nicaragua). Its Mexico City service will continue into the winter season, making it the first complete year of service for the busy North American trade route. “These additions will help Canadian businesses reach new markets and strengthen trade ties with key regions, while also supporting the flow of goods to and from popular sun destinations. These new passenger routes will provide enhanced belly cargo opportunities in select markets, allowing us to support even more Canadian exporters and importers during the peak season,” it explains. Service quality and reliability are key and WestJet Cargo customers will also benefit from the airline’s acquisition of Sunwing and Swoop, whose fleets are currently being reconfigured to match WestJet’s standard cargo-friendly layout before the start of the season.
Amanda Ierfino, Vice President Sales & Cargo, commented: “WestJet Cargo’s expanded winter schedule is a direct response to our customers’ needs for greater connectivity and reliable service to sun destinations and beyond. By strengthening our cargo network and investing in key routes, we are enabling Canadian businesses to grow and thrive, whether shipping domestically or internationally. Our commitment is to deliver value, flexibility, and world-class service every step of the way.”
