WestJet announced In January 2025, WestJet is starting new flights between Kelowna and Seattle. This will be easier for people to travel and connect other places in the United States through Seattle.
“As we continue to strengthen our service across Western Canada, we are proud to connect Kelowna with new daily WestJet service to Seattle as part of our expanded winter schedule,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “This route will provide guests in the Okanagan and across the Pacific Northwest regions with new convenient and affordable options to easily connect between both popular regions for business and leisure year-round.”
The flights will depart Kelowna in the morning and arrive in Seattle in the afternoon. This makes it easy for people to do business in Seattle and visit places in the United States, and it will be convenient for people to visit Kelowna.
“WestJet has been a valued partner for Kelowna International Airport for 28 years and demonstrates their commitment to our region through continued expansion of the domestic and international network available from YLW,” said Sam Samaddar, Kelowna International Airport Chief Executive Officer. “I would like to thank WestJet for their dedication to the Okanagan, which allows the growth of our airport and provides benefits to our entire community—from access to travel for business and leisure to economic development here at home.”
