WestJet is heralding the resurgence of its transatlantic routes between Eastern Canada and Europe with the successful arrival of flight WS34 from Toronto Pearson International Airport to Dublin International Airport. Embracing its role as the premier leisure travel provider across Canada, WestJet’s daily seasonal service throughout the summer underscores its dedication to maintaining strong transatlantic links from Eastern Canada.
This season also celebrates a significant milestone for WestJet, marking a decade since the airline first ventured into Europe with its pioneering flight from St. John’s to Dublin in 2014.
“Service between Toronto and Dublin continues be an important part of WestJet’s story, and we celebrate a decade of service that has strengthened ties between our two countries,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “The return of daily seasonal service between Toronto and Dublin gives Canadians the opportunity to immerse themselves in the diverse landscapes, rich culture and warm hospitality of Ireland with the convenience and affordability WestJet is known for.”
