WestJet marks 10 years of flying to Europe with Toronto-Dublin restart

WestJet is celebrating its return to transatlantic flying between Eastern Canada and Europe following the touchdown of WestJet flight WS34 between Toronto Pearson and Dublin International airports on Saturday (March 2). 

The daily summer seasonal service comes as WestJet marks its 10-year anniversary of operating flights to Europe. The airline's inaugural transatlantic flight between St. John's and Dublin was in 2014.

"Service between Toronto and Dublin continues 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's executive vice-president and chief commercial officer, in a news release on Saturday. 

"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."
