WestJet is set to begin a new six times a week nonstop service between Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and Dublin Airport (DUB).
"This flight between these important tourism and business markets reinforces our commitment to investing in Halfiax as an Atlantic gateway to Europe," said Arved von zur Muehlen, WestJet's chief commercial officer. "WestJet continues to support the efforts of the government of Nova Scotia to enhance trade, tourism and grow economies in the province and the UK."
WestJet has served the city of Halifax since 2003 and has seen 160% growth in flights to and from Halifax Stanfield. This summer the airline will operate non-stop service to 15 cities with an average of 28 departures per day from Halifax.
WestJet has operated to Dublin, Ireland since 2015 and on June 1 will bring one of its first three Dreamliner aircraft to the city with its nonstop service from Calgary.
