WESTJET BRINGS HOME MORE THAN 400 CANADIANS IN THREE DAYS
Almost 270 Canadians are home after arriving last night in Toronto, Canada from Grand Cayman (GCM) and Nassau (NAS) Bahamas and Georgetown (GEO), Guyana. These were WestJet’s ninth and tenth flights in collaboration with the Government of Canada, which to-date has seen more than 1,200 Canadians arrive home.
On Saturday, WestJet also operated a historical first for the airline by touching down in South America for this first time. WestJet’s first, but not last, foray into Georgetown (GEO), Guyana saw 150 Canadians board the aircraft to get home. WestJet has another Georgetown (GEO) to Toronto (YYZ), Canada flight for sale on westjet.com, which will operate April 23.
These flights are part of WestJet’s efforts to bring home Canadian citizens after the suspension of international service due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, WestJet is keeping critical economic lifelines open in Canada through continued operations to all the cities it currently serves with decreased frequency.
Next scheduled repatriation flight:
- April 23, 2020 from Guatemala City, Guatamala (GUA) to Toronto (YYZ)
