Canadian carrier, WestJet, is adding flights between Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) starting on May 29th. This is a new addition for WestJet’s route network.
The new flights will be offered up to 6x weekly on Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft with 12 Premium and 162 Economy Class seats. In 2025, WestJet will fly to more transatlantic destinations from Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) than ever before. Cities served include, Dublin Airport (DUB), Edinburgh Airport (EDI), London Heathrow Airport (LHR), and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).
Jared Mikoch-Gerke, Director of Alliances and Airport Affairs at WestJet, said:
WestJet’s new service between Halifax and Amsterdam opens the door for record growth in Nova Scotia through vital investment that strengthens connectivity to Europe, furthering tourism and economic opportunities. We’re excited to see the stories that will unfold as travelers from both regions connect and discover the unique charm of these vibrant cities.”
WestJet announced today that it has expanded its codeshare agreement with Virgin Atlantic. The airline also has a longstanding codeshare agreement with KLM. With this new flight, Passengers will have one-stop access to tons of cities across Europe on KLM operated flights. The convenience of a single check-in experience, through checked baggage, and the ability to earn with WestJet Rewards should be appealing to travelers.
Anthony’s Take: Tickets are fairly inexpensive on this new transatlantic route. WestJet offers a good experience and I could see these flights as an appealing option for both flyers from Halifax as well as those who can easily position there.
