WestJet adds TPA's first-ever flights to Vancouver

To Western Canada we go: WestJet just announced Tampa International Airport's first-ever seasonal nonstop service between TPA and Vancouver, British Columbia, beginning June 14, 2025. Vancouver is TPA's second-largest unserved international destination.

Flights will operate once per week on Saturdays through Oct. 25, 2025.

This route will open the door for travelers to easily visit the stunning natural beauty of Vancouver or catch a cruise from Vancouver's popular cruise port. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the North Shore Mountains, those looking for a gateway to the mountains are also in luck.

The city is known for its diverse cultural scene, offering a rich blend of arts, music and cuisine. Vancouver also is recognized as a major film and television production hub, often referred to as "Hollywood North" due to its many studios and filming locations.

"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 they will extend their nonstop service to Calgary from seasonal to year-round. Beginning May 2, flights from TPA to Calgary (YYC) will operate every Friday.
