WestJet takes off for London this weekend

WestJet will launch its new non-stop service between six Canadian cities and London’s Gatwick Airport beginning this weekend.  

Flights from Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto begin tomorrow (May 6), while service from Edmonton, Winnipeg and St. John's begins on Saturday (May 7).

WestJet will fly a total of 56 weekly flights in both directions between Canada and London, including the only non-stop transatlantic service available from Winnipeg.

Connections are available from cities across Canada in both directions and service from Calgary and Toronto will operate on a year-round basis.

With the exception of flights from St. John's, which will operate on one of the airline's Boeing Next-Generation 737s, all London flights will be operated by one of WestJet's four 767-300 extended-range aircraft.
