WestJet released its summer schedule for St. John’s, celebrating the highly-anticipated return of direct service between the province’s capital city and Dublin, operating twice weekly from 22 May through to 28 October 2025.
The service will be operated two class 162 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador The Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, said “This route expansion, providing a connection to Europe seven days a week, is a game changer. Newfoundland and Labrador welcomes these international connections; connections that help create tremendous opportunities for our province. I extend my appreciation to WestJet for continuing to work with our government and to the St. John’s International Airport Authority for its dedicated air service development efforts. There is great potential with these routes and I am excited by the possibilities.”
St. John’s International Airport Authority CEO Dennis Hogan, said “With expanded non-stop service to London-Gatwick, the return of service to Dublin, and a brand-new direct route to Paris, today’s WestJet announcement establishes YYT as a gateway to Europe and a key entry point into North America.”
WestJet Vice-President of External Affairs Andy Gibbons, said “We know how critical transatlantic connectivity is to St. John’s—not only for those seeking a vacation abroad, but also for boosting the province’s inbound tourism and supporting economic growth. Introducing new service to Paris, returning direct service to Dublin, while enhancing connections to London is a direct response to the valuable feedback from the community and we’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with our government and industry partners. This announcement reflects WestJet’s continued commitment to the St. John’s community and our ongoing investments in the region.”
