WestJet (Calgary) today announced Glasgow, United Kingdom, as its newest European destination. Daily nonstop flights from Halifax begin on May 29, 2015, with direct (same-aircraft) service from Toronto (Pearson), operated on one of the airline’s Boeing Next-Generation 737-700 series aircraft.

The new route between Halifax and Glasgow will operate seasonally from May 29, 2015 to October 23, 2015.

The Scotland-bound flight, WS 30, was numbered in honor of St. Andrew’s Day, which falls on November 30. WestJet’s second trans-Atlantic route is a five-hour 15-minute journey – only a wee bit longer than the airline’s popular flight from Halifax to Calgary.

WestJet will also resume its service between St. John’s, Newfoundland, and Dublin, Ireland, on May 1, 2015, six weeks earlier than in 2014.
