Our friends in Canada now have even more ways to visit us thanks to WestJet, which has launched a new, seasonal non-stop service between Toronto and Providenciales. The inaugural flight departed Toronto International Airport at 10:00 a.m. MT today and touched down at 1:50PM, to the delight of the 140 passengers escaping the imminent winter up north.
WestJet will fly between Toronto and Providenciales, Turks and Caicos three times per week from now until May 1, 2010. It joins Air Canada in offering non-stop service from Canada, which this winter is introducing weekly service from Montreal and Ottawa to go along with thrice-weekly service from Toronto.
“The Turks and Caicos islands are an exciting new adventure for WestJet,” said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet Executive Vice-President of Strategy and Planning. “We are going to keep expanding our reach into the Caribbean, because we know that Canadian travellers want to get somewhere hot each winter!”
Following are the schedule details of WestJet’s new service.
From November 4, 2009 to May 1, 2010:
Toronto - Providenciales, Turks and Caicos (three times weekly until
May 1 2010)
