CALGARY, April 29, 2013 /CNW/ - WestJet today launches new daily non-stop service between Calgary and Dallas, Texas. The first flight leaves Calgary International Airport at 10:25 a.m. MST.

"Today marks the launch of service to a key destination," said Chris Avery, WestJet Vice-President, Network Planning, Alliances and Corporate Development.

Combined, the two airlines offer three round-trip flights between Calgary and Dallas, and beyond that, the opportunity to connect to 16 additional cities as part of our code-sharing agreement. This additional connectivity, combined with the opportunity to earn rewards on both airlines, is an attractive offer for business travellers in particular."
