Nova Scotia gets new airlift
Nova Scotia has never been more accessible, especially for British visitors.
Starting summer 2024, the region sees two new seasonal transatlantic non-stop services resume.
Additionally, a new flight route on WestJet adds more choice as well as a further choice via a connecting flight with Icelandair.
WesJet will offer a seasonal direct flight to Nova Scotia’s capital Halifax from London, Dublin and Edinburgh.
The route will be served by the airline’s Boeing 737 Max fleet.
The London and Dublin service will operate four times a week from 29 April and 20 June 2024 respectively.
The Edinburgh service – a new route not previously operated – will fly three times a week from 20 June 2024.
May 2024 will also see the return of Icelandair to Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
This is another option for UK travellers to get to Nova Scotia from the UK, with the added bonus of free Iceland stopovers en route.
Icelandair’s new three times a week seasonal service operates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from May 31 through to October 14.
It marks Icelandair’s return to Halifax after a five-year absence.
Flights are already on sale.
Emma Cashmore, Tourism Nova Scotia’s UK Account Director, of Axis Travel Marketing Ltd. said: “We are thrilled to see the return of these vital transatlantic connections as well as the introduction of a new route from Edinburgh.”
This opens up the options for UK travellers to access the province and indeed all of Atlantic Canada”.
Nova Scotia has more than 13,000 km of coastline, diverse cultures and rich heritage
It boasts six UNESCO designated sites and is noted for its scenic beaches.
