Beginning December 19th, Manitobans will be able to book flights to an exciting new sun destination.
We’re pleased to share that WestJet has announced the launch of non-stop service to Costa Rica this winter, expanding YWG’s international offerings and providing a convenient gateway to Central America’s diverse landscape and vibrant culture.
Service will run once weekly on Fridays until April 25th, 2026.
"We’re thrilled to see WestJet continue to invest in Winnipeg’s air service with the addition of Liberia, Costa Rica — a destination that offers Manitoba travellers even more opportunity to explore and unwind. This new route, along with expanded service to Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, highlights WestJet’s confidence in our market and strengthens Winnipeg Richardson International Airport’s role as a key hub connecting our community to the world," says Nick Hays, President & CEO, Winnipeg Airports Authority.
As Manitoba’s international gateway, we’re excited to continue working with WestJet and other airline partners to bring more connectivity to YWG and expand leisure travel opportunities for the community.
