The airline also plans to extend it's winter seasonal Tampa-Calgary route to year-round service
WestJet just announced Tampa International Airport's first-ever nonstop service between TPA and Vancouver, British Columbia, beginning 14 June, 2025. Vancouver has been TPA's second-largest unserved international destination.
Seasonal flights will operate once per week on Saturdays through Oct. 25, 2025.
"We're thrilled to support WestJet’s continued growth at TPA with the Airport’s first-ever nonstop flights to Vancouver,” TPA CEO Joe Lopano said. “Our strong partnership with WestJet helps connect the Tampa Bay area to appealing international destinations, this time to one of Canada’s largest metropolitan areas, which we know will be popular with both business and leisure travelers.”
WestJet has been operating at TPA since 2004. The airline will fly this new route to Vancouver with a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
In addition to the route to Vancouver, WestJet also announced that it will extend its nonstop service to Calgary from seasonal to year-round. Beginning May 2, flights from TPA to Calgary (YYC) will operate on Fridays.
