WestJet to have new cross-border service between Victoria and Las Vegas

WestJet expands its cross-border offering for the 2023-2024 winter season with a nonstop connection between Victoria and Las Vegas. This service boosts Western Canadian connectivity through an increased offering of sun and leisure destinations.

The leisure airline’s last operation on this route was in January 2017. Las Vegas is WestJet’s fourth international destination and only service to the United States at Victoria Airport (YYJ). The airline’s offerings also include flights to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and San Jose del Cabo and the cabotage market has service to Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna and Vancouver.

“WestJet is proud to add our new route to our winter schedule, and strengthen cross-border connectivity from Victoria to Las Vegas. As we continue to offer passengers across Canada even more affordable and accessible opportunities to escape the cold and find sunshine this winter, Victoria is an important part of our growth plan in Western Canada,” said John Weatherill, WestJet’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.
