“WestJet continues to welcome the introduction of new COVID-19 testing programs and pilots to ensure that our guests can confidently and safely travel abroad,” said Arved von zur Muehlen, WestJet‘s Chief Commercial Officer.

In January, the carrier will be operating flights to other Caribbean destinations including Kingston, Montego Bay, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana and Barbados.
