The state reaches more than 775,000 annual seats to Canada with new routes and frequencies offered by WestJet, Air Canada, Air Transat, Flair, and Porter Airlines, strengthening its international air connectivity.
To consolidate Jalisco as a priority destination in the Canadian market, the State Government, through the Ministry of Tourism, announced the addition of a new air route between Guadalajara and Calgary (YYC), operated by WestJet, beginning December 7, 2025.
This connection, which will depart from Guadalajara International Airport, operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP), will be seasonal and will operate until April 12, 2026, with two weekly frequencies (Tuesdays and Sundays) aboard a Boeing 787-800-47 … 737 with capacity for 174 passengers.
This route brings the total to four direct connections between Guadalajara and Canada, reflecting the sustained growth in air connectivity between the two destinations.
Michelle Fridman Hirsch, Secretary of Tourism of Jalisco, emphasized that the relationship with the Canadian market has strengthened in recent years thanks to the increase in visitors choosing the state’s various destinations. Therefore, this new route contributes to maintaining that trend and boosting Jalisco’s presence in one of North America’s key markets.
“We are very pleased to see how the growing connection between the Canadian market and Jalisco is stronger than ever. This is a great opportunity to consolidate our ties, highlight the cultural closeness we share, and reaffirm something fundamental: we welcome Canadian travelers to Jalisco,” said Michelle Fridman.
The Secretary celebrated the incorporation of WestJet as an airline with a long history, diversifying travel options and consolidating ties between both regions by becoming Canada’s second-largest airline.
The company has three decades of experience, a solid operations center in Calgary, an expanding global network, and more than 27 million passengers annually.
Fridman Hirsch added that more and more people from Canada are visiting destinations such as Guadalajara, Chapala, Puerto Vallarta, Costalegre, and the state’s Pueblos Mágicos (Magical Towns), so Jalisco remains committed to strengthening this trend through increased connectivity with more than 17 Canadian airports.
John Weatherill, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of WestJet, noted that the Canadian airline is reinforcing its commitment as a local airline and Calgary’s primary carrier. “WestJet is committed to offering convenient connections and exceptional value, just as our passengers have come to expect,” the executive commented.
