WestJet to cancel flight service with Calgary for Medicine Hat and Lethbridge

Feb 24, 2026 | 7:15 AM

WestJet has issued a public notice proposing to discontinue its year-round non-stop scheduled air service between the Calgary airport and airports in both Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.

The final day of service for both routes is June 24.

A representative from WestJet has confirmed that the WestJet Encore service won’t continue after that date.

“The decision to end air service is never taken lightly, and we understand this is disappointing news for the two communities and apologize for the impact this may have,” Media Relations advisor Julia Kaiser said.

“The WestJet Group has served these routes for several years, and despite efforts to support viability, demand for the services has been insufficient,” she added.
