“As demand increases, we know travellers are looking for convenient and affordable options for travel between Canada and Europe,” said John Weatherill, WestJet’s Chief Commercial Officer. “As we continue to focus on expanding our network from our Toronto hub where we offer 33 international destinations, these flights will further strengthen business and leisure ties between Canada and Ireland and will increase connectivity between two key markets.”
