WestJet restarts flights between Dublin Airport & St. John's

WestJet has today commenced a new non-stop service between Dublin Airport and St. John’s for Summer 2025, re-establishing a direct connection between Newfoundland and Ireland. 

 

This long-anticipated route offers travellers a seamless gateway from Ireland to Newfoundland, Labrador and Canada's east coast. The flight between Dublin Airport and St. John's International Airport takes around four-and-a-half hours.

 

According to Chris White-DeVries, WestJet Airport Affairs, Senior Manager: “We are thrilled to be in Dublin today, celebrating the return of non-stop WestJet service to St. John’s. Today’s celebration represents a significant milestone for WestJet as we reconnect Atlantic Canada to Europe this summer, reinforcing our commitment to unlocking convenient and affordable transatlantic connectivity for Irish and Canadian guests via St. John’s.” 

 

Speaking at the launch of the new flight today, Eoin McGloughlin, VP Aviation Business Development, Dublin Airport said: “We are delighted to see WestJet launch a new direct route from Dublin Airport to St. John's, Newfoundland. This route re-establishes a vital transatlantic link that celebrates the strong historical and cultural ties between Ireland and Newfoundland. WestJet now offers direct services to 4 Canadian cities, and we are also pleased to see that WestJet is expanding its flights to Toronto, providing even more options for travellers between Ireland and Canada. WestJet will offer more than 20 departures per week from Dublin in Summer 2025 and will have more than 200,000 seats on sale, reflecting the growing demand between Ireland and Canada. Dublin Airport looks forward to welcoming all of WestJet’s passengers this summer and beyond.”
