WestJet Cargo has announced the expansion of its Calgary-Seoul (Incheon International Airport) service, doubling its flight frequencies to meet growing demand for air cargo and passenger transportation between Canada and South Korea. This enhanced service underscores WestJet Cargo’s commitment to providing reliable and efficient air cargo solutions for businesses in both regions. Starting the week of May 19, 2025, the Calgary-Seoul route will increase from three to six flights per week, operating until October 13, 2025.

The route will continue to be served by WestJet’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner, offering a weekly cargo capacity of approximately 130 tons and 480 cubic meters.

This milestone coincides with the first anniversary of the Canada-South Korea connection, which launched on May 17, 2024. Over the past year, this route has played a pivotal role in strengthening economic ties between Canada and South Korea while supporting increased trade and tourism opportunities.

The expanded service underscores WestJet Cargo’s dedication to supporting international trade while advancing Calgary’s position as a global hub for intercontinental travel and commerce.
