WestJet will be the only Canadian carrier providing scheduled non-stop lift to the Caribbean island of Bonaire this winter. The island is famed for its shore diving, wind surfing and pristine beaches.
Non-stop weekly seasonal service from Toronto will begin December 12, with Tuesday flights departing YYZ at 10:00 am, arriving at the Dutch Caribbean island at 16:15. Return flights will depart Bonaire Wednesdays at 9:00 am, arriving Toronto at 13:42.
"WestJet is excited to bring the beauty and allure of Bonaire to Canadian travellers looking to trade in their winter routines for world-renowned adventure and pristine white beaches," said Chris Avery, Vice-President, Network Planning, Alliances and Commercial Development.
"As we look towards the colder months ahead and our exciting growth plan, we are more committed than ever to expanding our network, offering unforgettable experiences and connecting our guests to remarkable destinations like Bonaire."
As part of the Dutch Caribbean, Bonaire is in the Leeward Antilles in the Caribbean Sea and is accessible through The Flamingo International Airport.
"We are very happy to welcome our friends in the North to our beautiful island this winter via this first of its kind route," said Miles Mercera, CEO at Tourism Corporation Bonaire.
"Canada continues to be a vital connection for Bonaire, with Canada ranking among our top 10 performing markets. This historic new connectivity helps answer the demand of tourism interest in the island, which we expect to only increase during the colder months."
