Canadian carrier WestJet announced on July 20th that it will expand its network with new non-stop service to five destinations, including Belize, beginning December 14, 2026. The new once-weekly flight will connect Winnipeg with Belize City’s Philip Goldson International Airport. The Belize Tourism Board welcomed the announcement, saying the additional service is expected to bring more visitors to the country. The additional flight is expected to support overnight visitor arrivals, particularly to destinations such as Ambergris Caye. “I welcome WestJet’s new direct service to Belize as another strong vote of confidence in our country,” he noted.
