WestJet heads to London

WestJet has selected London, England as the first transatlantic destination from Canada for its wide-body Boeing 767-300 aircraft.

Service from Canada to London will be through London Gatwick. Further announcements on schedules, pricing and launch cities will be communicated later this summer, with service commencing in spring 2016.

Bob Cummings, WestJet’s executive vice president, commercial, said that wide-body capability will allow the carrier to consider additional international destinations in the future.
