WestJet celebrates a decade of flying to Europe with the restart of service between Toronto and Dublin

WestJet is celebrating the return of transatlantic flying between Eastern Canada and Europe.


As Canada's coast-to-coast leisure travel champion, the daily summer seasonal service reaffirms WestJet's commitment to transatlantic connectivity to and from Eastern Canada.



This summer also marks the 10-year anniversary of WestJet's entry into Europe, commemorating the airline's inaugural transatlantic flight between St. John's and Dublin in 2014.

"Service between Toronto and Dublin continues to 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."

"As the gateway to Europe, direct flights between Canada and Ireland have revolutionized the tourism landscape, making it easier than ever for travellers to explore the enchanting beauty and rich heritage of Ireland. This 10-year milestone represents not just a connection between our two nations, but an invitation for travellers to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture and warm hospitality that we have to offer. As we celebrate this achievement, we look forward to welcoming even more visitors to experience the magic of Ireland firsthand and create lasting memories that will inspire future travel," says Tourism Ireland Country Manager Sandra Moffatt.

As WestJet continues to lead in leisure, the airline is pleased to reconnect three major eastern Canadian cities to key European destinations this summer, with additional previously announced service offerings.
