WestJet has inaugurated service between Toronto and the Scottish capital Edinburgh.

With the addition of the airline's latest connection to Europe, WS will now fly non-stop to five European destinations from Toronto this summer including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, London-Gatwick and Barcelona.

"We are thrilled that Edinburgh is the final European connection to inaugurate from Toronto this summer, rounding out the restoration of our network and strengthening our offerings from Toronto," said John Weatherill, WestJet Chief Commercial Officer.

"These cities are some of the world's most vibrant and iconic destinations and we are working diligently as demand for international travel continues to ramp up. Seamless connectivity between Europe and Canada is critical to the recovery of Canada's travel and tourism industry," Weatherill added.

"The launch of this route is cause for celebration, not only because it connects our valued passengers with the capital of Scotland, but also because it rounds out WestJet's European service for the summer at Toronto Pearson," says Janik Reigate, Director of Strategic Customer Relationships at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.

"As the public begins to think about where their summer adventures will take them, WestJet's suite of European destinations is the perfect choice for an unforgettable vacation."

The Toronto-Edinburgh route will operate three times weekly in peak season. WestJet currently offers two Scottish destinations with service from Toronto to Edinburgh and Glasgow and flights between Halifax and Glasgow.
