Calgary-Mexico City Flights to Launch in 2025
Starting May 14, 2025, WestJet will introduce a non-stop route connecting Calgary to Mexico City International Airport. Operating five times a week, this service re-establishes a vital link last available in 2018. The direct connection highlights Calgary's growing role as a hub for international travel while making journeys between Canada and Mexico more convenient. This development is expected to benefit both leisure and business travelers by streamlining access to key destinations.
This initiative forms part of WestJet’s broader strategy to enhance its North American network, offering more direct flights to major destinations. The new route also leverages WestJet’s partnership with Aeromexico, enabling connections to other prominent Mexican cities like Guadalajara and Monterrey. These improvements aim to provide Canadian travelers with greater flexibility, while facilitating easier access for Mexican visitors exploring Canada.
Mexico City, as a destination, offers travelers a unique blend of ancient history and contemporary culture. From exploring the iconic ruins of Templo Mayor to savoring culinary delights in bustling food markets, visitors are immersed in a vibrant atmosphere. Renowned attractions such as the Frida Kahlo Museum and Chapultepec Castle add depth to the cultural experience, making the city a must-visit for curious and adventurous tourists.
For those connecting through Mexico City, the enhanced network opens doors to diverse regions across Mexico. Guadalajara, known for its tequila heritage and artistic traditions, invites cultural exploration, while Monterrey offers outdoor adventures and thriving business opportunities. This expanded connectivity creates exciting options for Canadian travelers seeking to discover Mexico’s variety of experiences.
This new route is more than just an added convenience for travelers. It signifies a step forward in connecting cultures and fostering economic ties between Canada and Mexico. By providing seamless travel opportunities, WestJet’s Calgary-Mexico City service stands to enhance the travel experience, offering new horizons for tourists and professionals alike.
