WestJet has announced it will launch a new non-stop service between Winnipeg and London (Gatwick) on 7 May 2016.
“Canadians have been paying far too much to fly to Europe for far too long and today, as we have throughout our history, we’re going to fix that,” said Bob Cummings, WestJet executive vice president, Commercial. “We are offering non-stop flights at very low prices and we’re proud to once again [offer] lower airfares and make travel more affordable.”
WestJet will also be offering introductory pricing that adds an additional $20 one-way to connect from select airports into the six cities serving London Gatwick. Guests are encouraged to look for these introductory prices from these communities on westjet.com or contact their travel agent.
All London flights from Winnipeg will be operated by one of WestJet’s four 767-300ERW extended range aircraft. Featuring a new teal and blue maple leaf-themed logo, which will eventually appear on all WestJet aircraft, each 767 seats 262 guests and has a range of approximately 11 hours.
The aircraft will include a Plus cabin with 24 premium seats in a two by two configuration. The main cabin has 238 seats, with two seats on either side of the aircraft and three in the middle. By next spring all four 767s will be equipped with WestJet Connect, the airline’s new inflight entertainment and wireless connectivity system.
WestJet’s non-stop flights from Canada to London all operate as overnight flights leaving late afternoon or evening.
