WestJet introduces flights to Amsterdam, resumes Gatwick connections

WestJet will introduce seasonal service to Amsterdam, and resume service to London’s Gatwick airport as the global pandemic wanes and Canada looks set to ease travel restrictions. The Calgary-headquartered airline says on 14 June it will launch twice-weekly flights from Calgary to Amsterdam beginning on 5 August, increasing to thrice-weekly in September. The flights will run until 1 November. Also from July, the airline will resume flights from Calgary and Toronto to London’s Gatwick airport, two-times and three-times weekly, respectively. All of the flights between Canada and Europe will be operated on the airline’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners. “We are committed to putting international investments in place, as leaders of the travel and tourism industry, to support a safe restart to international travel and further Canada’s economic recovery,” says WestJet’s chief commercial officer John Weatherill.<br/>
