100% we won't be sitting on our laurels. At that point it would be demanding service to Asia.But we will

India should be the goal. In terms of traffic very doable. I suspect south Asia traffic is a big part of why KLM is moving to 5x weekly this winter.

I imagine we will see WJ announce a Calgary-Delhi flight at some point in the near future. They have already got Seoul and Tokyo as Asian destinations, India has to be their next one and will be significantly used just based on recent population demographics. ACs Vancouver & Toronto Delhi flights are heavily used.

I don't think WestJet could do so because of Russia overflight restriction.

Oh i was not aware of this restriction? what is it?
How come AC doesn't have to deal with it or the path from Vancouver/Toronto doesn't need that path?

Russia banned overflights for a variety of countries including Canada that are providing weapons or support to Ukraine.

I go to SE Asia every year and would love see a direct flight to Manila from YEG.

AC isn't currently operating Vancouver-Delhi because of the Russian airspace restriction.

(If) I’m not mistaken Philippine Airlines wants to expand their Manila to US
flights 
/ add new routes there
.In Canada
they’re likely add additional flights to its already existing Manila to Vancouver YVR/Toronto YYZ routes (if) they’re allowed to.
Philippine Airlines makes Seattle its 6th US destination - The Points Guy
Philippine Airlines' (PAL) new service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) will take off in October.

Currently WestJet doesn’t have enough Boeing 787 planes
to add the Calgary YYC Canada - Delhi India 
route. They only got 7 and those are currently all being used up on International flights from YYC to Europe & Tokyo Japan 
, seasonally to Seoul South Korea 
,Mexico 
& Hawaii US.(If) WS wants to add more new routes on the 787 they will need to order more of it / or lease them.
Although Air Canada does have enough Boeing 777/787 planes to do YYC -Delhi India
route nonstop if they wanted to / were granted by government approval.But that’s not happening anytime soon as Air Canada is more focused on international flights from its 3 main hubs at Toronto YYZ , Vancouver YVR & Montreal YUL.
