Tourism Ireland is hailing a re-established air link between Newfoundland and Ireland – two regions with strong historical and cultural ties. The non-stop route between St. John’s and Dublin being flown by WestJet will start in summer 2025.

Sandra Moffatt, Director – Canada for Tourism Ireland, notes there is strong demand for direct flights to Ireland from the Canada’s east coast.

“This development offers Canadian travellers a seamless and efficient journey to Ireland, with just a 4.5-hour flight to Dublin,” she says, adding, “It has never been easier to explore Ireland’s rich history, vibrant culture, and renowned hospitality.

“We are thrilled to further strengthen our partnership with WestJet providing Canadians with unparalleled access to Ireland in 2025, fostering greater opportunities for tourism and cultural exchange between our countries.”

WestJet is further enhancing its Ireland with earlier flights from Toronto to Dublin in 2025, staring in April, and resuming direct access from the West, with Calgary-Dublin flights next summer.
