WestJet has this week celebrated the inaugural service of its three times weekly Halifax-Edinburgh route.
The new service set off as part of the airline’s plan to grow Halifax as a destination and will run until 13 October.
The flight came in the same week as the launch of a four-times weekly service to Dublin, also running until 13 October.
WestJet vice-president of external affairs Andrew Gibbons said: “Further solidifying our position as Canada’s leading leisure airline, this flight is another milestone in our commitment to enhancing Atlantic Canada’s business and leisure ties through air connectivity.
“With today’s inaugural service, we are thrilled to further strengthen the connection between Halifax and Edinburgh as we continue to expand strategic air access across the region.”
The new flights come after WestJet Group CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech visited Halifax earlier this year to meet with key stakeholders and community members to discuss the WestJet Group’s expanding presence across the region.
