Sandra Moffatt, Tourism Ireland Country Manager, expressed her enthusiasm for the resumed service. She said:
This 10-year milestone represents not just a connection between our two nations, but an invitation for travellers to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture and warm hospitality that we have to offer.
In addition to the Toronto-Dublin route, WestJet is also offering flights between Halifax and several European destinations this summer, including Dublin, Edinburgh, and London (Gatwick).
