WestJet has introduced a new transatlantic route from Halifax to Barcelona, marking the first-ever service between these locations. This addition is part of WestJet's expanding European network, which appears to be growing as the airline reduces its operations in the United States.
The airline's schedule indicates a planned record transborder capacity for 2025, although this is less than what was initially scheduled for this year. Meanwhile, WestJet continues to expand its European routes with this latest addition being a notable late entry.
"This brand-new route will cover 2,812 nautical miles (5,208 km) each way," making it Halifax's longest route operated by a Canadian carrier this year. The first flight is set for June 27 and will operate four times weekly on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 until September 28.
