WestJet today announced the launch of new seasonal non-stop service between Toronto and Bermuda. The inaugural flight to Bermuda departs Toronto's Pearson International Airport at 10:20 a.m. EDT today.
"Bermuda has a distinct and beautiful flare that makes it one of the most unique destinations in WestJet's world of popular sun spots," said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Strategy and Planning. "We are sure that WestJet guests are as eager as we are to touch down in this inspiring island destination, and Bermudians wishing to visit Canada, their friends and family now have a daily flight opportunity."
WestJet will fly once daily between Toronto and Bermuda until October 30, 2010. "By flying directly from Bermuda to Toronto, we can provide guests with connections to the rest of our 31-city Canadian network with our own unique blend of low fares, high value and a world-class guest experience," said Hugh Dunleavy.
"We are very excited to welcome WestJet to Bermuda," said Dr. the Hon. Ewart F. Brown, JP, MP, Premier and Minister of Tourism and Transport for Bermuda. "WestJet enjoys an outstanding reputation for caring, affordable service and, in Bermuda, we recognize and appreciate those qualities. We believe that this new service will prove attractive for our visitors from Canada and provide another option for Bermudians seeking to travel abroad."
"We're very pleased to continue working with WestJet and to see it grow its already substantial network at Toronto Pearson International Airport. We appreciate the airline's ongoing commitment to providing great travel opportunities for our passengers," said Pamela Griffith-Jones, Vice-President, Chief Marketing and Commercial Development Officer for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA).
