WestJet launched direct flights between Toronto and Havana.
“We are thrilled to continue expanding the range of tourism products and connectivity available to travelers from Canada,” said Gihana Galindo, Director of the Cuba Tourism Office in Toronto.
“Customers now have a seamless opportunity to connect directly with the profound culture, history, and heritage that a city like Havana has to offer. This access will allow them to fully discover the city's historical, culinary, and cultural richness. I particularly recommend a Thursday-to-Sunday getaway to immerse oneself in the vibrant atmosphere.”
The restored air service is expected to appeal to a broad range of travellers, including tourists, business travellers, academics and students.

“We are very pleased with the resumption of direct flights to Havana, offering the best of both worlds,” Galindo added. “Travelers can now easily combine the relaxing beach experience of Varadero with the vibrant, historic city of Havana, creating a highly attractive product for the Canadian market.”
WestJet says the route will operate twice weekly.
“Havana is a destination that truly inspires, and we’re thrilled to make it even more accessible for Canadians,” said Mike Perkins, WestJet Senior Manager, Airport Affairs.
“This route reflects our commitment to offering more opportunities for Canadians to discover unique destinations, whether they’re seeking cultural experiences, historic charm or simply a cold-weather escape in the Caribbean. Our twice-weekly service between Toronto and Havana gives guests flexibility to create the getaway that's right for them.”
Flights are now available through WestJet Vacations, Hola Sun, The Special Travel, and directly at westjet.com.
