WestJet's direct London flight gives St. John's its 1st European connection since 2019
WestJet announced Wednesday it will launch a direct flight from St. John's to London this spring, with a helping hand from Newfoundland and Labrador taxpayers. Starting May 1 and ending on Oct. 25, flights will be taking off three times a week between St. John's to London's Gatwick airport. The announcement gives the airport its first direct routes to Europe since 2019. "With this expansion, we are reopening St. John's to the world, and the world to St. John's," said Andrew Gibbons, WestJet's vice-president of external affairs. "Also we are addressing the great injustice of having to go west to go east." The flight from St. John's will depart at 12:15 a.m. NT and arrive 9 a.m. GMT. The return flight will depart 11 a.m. GMT and land in St. John's at 1:15 p.m. NT.<br/>
