WestJet Adds Nonstop Flights Between Calgary and Nashville International

Calgary will be the second Canadian city with nonstop service to Nashville.

NASHVILLE, TN — WestJet Airlines announced Monday it is adding non-stop flights between Calgary and Nashville International starting May 4. It marks the second Canada-to-Nashville service from the airline, which also offers non-stop routes to Toronto.

"Today's announcement marks BNA's first nonstop flight to Calgary and our second nonstop Canadian destination," said Rob Wigington, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority. "WestJet started BNA–Toronto service less than a year ago, and we're excited they've decided to bring even more international service to Nashville."

Tickets are on sale for the twice weekly flights, which will operate Thursday and Sunday, leaving Calgary at 10 a.m. and arriving in Nashville at 2:45 p.m., with the return flight leaving Nashville at 3:40 p.m. and arriving in Calgary at 6:50 p.m.
