WestJet has officially launched its route between Halifax and London (Gatwick). The departure of WS24 marks the start of daily, nonstop service between Halifax Stanfield International Airport and Gatwick Airport until October 26, 2018.
This is the first time the airline has used its newest aircraft, the Boeing 737-8 MAX for transatlantic travel. “WestJet’s addition of this direct route represents another link to the UK and connections throughout Europe, important markets for Nova Scotia,” said Geoff MacLellan, Minister of Business and Tourism Nova Scotia. “This route will help further connect our people, cultures and businesses, making it even easier for UK tourists to visit our province.”
