Canadian airline WestJet has added direct flights to Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, as part of its summer 2024 schedule. Services will run three times a week aboard the carrier’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
“It is with great pleasure that WestJet will serve as Alberta’s only direct link with South Korea, furthering our 787 global connectivity from our home city of Calgary,” said John Wetherhill, group executive vice president and chief commercial officer of Westjet; also highlighting the “unique business and cargo opportunities” made possible by the route.
“Expanding flights to South Korea will make it easier for our dedicated businesses in Alberta and Western Canada to expand into the world’s fastest growing region – the Indo-Pacific Redion,” added the Honourable Mary Ng, minister for export promotion, international trade and economic development.
