Airlines & Airports Monica Poling January 19, 2017

Today, WestJet launched its latest service to Arizona with a flight connecting Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport from Calgary. The airline further extends its Arizona service on Saturday when it launches flights between Edmonton and Mesa.
"WestJet is providing our guests in Calgary and Edmonton even more options when travelling to this very popular sun destination," said Brian Znotins, WestJet Vice-President, Network Planning. "The Phoenix-Mesa market is very robust and WestJet continues to add new service to meet demand. These new non-stop flights connect Albertans to a highly desirable leisure market and offer convenience to those looking to fly directly into Mesa. We are proud to have Mesa as our 28th U.S. destination."
The flights from Calgary will operate three times weekly while flights from Edmonton will operate once per week through April 29, 2017, providing Albertans new direct options to the popular American sun destination.
"Tourism is a vital part of our economy, and the Greater Phoenix area is home to hundreds of businesses that trade goods and services with Canada," said Mesa Mayor John Giles, Chairman of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority. "Having direct international service to Calgary and Edmonton opens the door for additional economic opportunities for the Valley. In addition, these new flights offer the community easy access to Alberta's tourism industry including some of the best skiing in North America. WestJet is known for their exceptional customer service and they are a perfect complement to the Just Plane Easy experience at Gateway Airport."
During the winter season, WestJet has 60 total weekly flights to Arizona, including a newly added second Tuesday flight from Edmonton to Phoenix. In total, Edmonton has 12 weekly flights to Arizona while Calgary offers 22.
