CALGARY- The second largest carrier of Canada, WestJet (WS) is adding non-stop flights between Calgary, Alberta and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Furthermore, WestJet passengers can now enjoy direct flights to Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) from five Canadian airports, thanks to the expanded partnership between WestJet and Condor Airlines (DE).
WestJet Minneapolis Flight
According to Ailevon Pacific Aviation Consulting, the airline will launch flight from Calgary (YYC) to Minneapolis (MSP) from April 27, 2025.
A 29-year-old carrier will deploy Boeing 737-700 aircraft to serve this sector. This marks WestJet’s fourth route to MSP, following routes from Edmonton (YEG), Saskatoon (YXE), and Regina (YQR).
Here’s the flight schedule:
- WS1611 departs YYC at 10:30 AM and arrives at MSP at 2:12 PM.
- WS1610 departs MSP at 3:15 PM and arrives at YYC at 5:13 PM.
All times are local.
Delta Air Lines (DL) also operates two daily flights between Minneapolis and Calgary with Airbus A320s.
Codeshare with Condor
WestJet and Condor Airlines are expanding their 10-year partnership by launching a codeshare agreement for the first time.
Under this new agreement, WestJet will offer itineraries on Condor-operated flights from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and Halifax to Frankfurt, Germany, all on a single ticket with through-checked baggage and the ability to earn WestJet Dollars.
Condor passengers can also explore Canada via WestJet’s extensive domestic network, enjoying the same seamless travel benefits. Additionally, Condor guests will have access to WestJet’s connections to the United States through the five Canadian airports later this summer.
John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) stated,
Jens Boyd, Commercial Director at Condor, added,
Recently, WestJet celebrated the launch of its inaugural flight between Halifax (YHZ) and Edinburgh (EDI). Flight WS46 departs from Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) at 10:35 p.m. local time.
This new service marks a significant milestone for the WestJet Group as it enhances Halifax’s connectivity this summer. Additionally, on Wednesday, June 19, the airline celebrated the return of its non-stop service between Halifax and Dublin (DUB).
