WestJet Airlines (WS/WJA) have today announced they will commence direct scheduled flights between Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ/CYHZ) in Canada and Manchester Airport (MAN/EGCC) in the United Kingdom. The first departure from Halifax will be on Friday 5th June 2020, returning from Manchester on Saturday 6th June 2020.
The route will be operated using WestJet Airlines fleet of 51 Boeing 737-700 aircraft. These aircraft are configured with 12 Premium Economy Class seats and 118 Economy Class seats. It is believed that if the Boeing 737-8 Max returns to service later this year it will replace the Boeing 737-700’s on this route.
This will be WestJet Airlines 3rd route serving the United Kingdom from Halifax, with existing services into London Gatwick (LGW/EGGW) and Glasgow (GLA/EGPF) on a summer seasonal basis.
