On May 8, 2022, the new WestJet Link launched from Fiumicino Airport to Calgary in Canada. Departing at 13:55 local time with about 300 passengers on board, the flight marked a major milestone in the resumption of tourism between Italy and Canada and was celebrated with Canadian Ambassadors to Italy Eliza Kolberg and Dan Williams. Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Culture of the State of Alberta reports in the Diplomatic Journal.
WestJet’s new service to Rome starts from its global hub Calgary and completes flights to Europe. As part of WestJet’s recovery, the airline has invested significantly over the Atlantic Ocean from Alberta, with a 43% increase in flights to Europe compared to 2020. The Rome-Calgary aircraft will be operated throughout the summer with the modern and efficient 320-seat Boeing 787/900 Dreamliner up to 3 times a week. The flight was originally scheduled to launch in May 2020, but was postponed due to an outbreak.
