«We are thrilled that Edinburgh is the final European connection to inaugurate from Toronto this summer, rounding out the restoration of our network and strengthening our offerings from Toronto. These cities are some of the world’s most vibrant and iconic destinations and we are working diligently as demand for international travel continues to ramp up,» said John Weatherill, WestJet Chief Commercial Officer. «Seamless connectivity between Europe and Canada is critical to the recovery of Canada’s travel and tourism industry.  We look forward to welcoming more Canadians and global guests on board this summer as we continue to restore our network to pre-pandemic levels.»

«The launch of this route is cause for celebration, not only because it connects our valued passengers with the capital of Scotland, but also because it rounds out WestJet’s European service for the summer at Toronto Pearson,» says Janik Reigate, Director of Strategic Customer Relationships at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. «As the public begins to think about where their summer adventures will take them, WestJet’s suite of European destinations is the perfect choice for an unforgettable vacation.»

For the summer season, WestJet inaugurated five routes to Europe from Canada. Barcelona, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow and London-Gatwick are the European cities.
