WestJet Launches Toronto to Bonaire
July 7, 2023 ctn_admin
WestJet Airlines has a new non-stop flight from Toronto to Bonaire, marking a milestone as the carrier’s first ever flight to the island. The non-stop route will operate once weekly, every Tuesday. Service begins on December 12, 2023, and will run through mid-April 2024.
Not only is this WestJet Airline’s first flight to Bonaire, but it is also Toronto’s first non-stop lift to the island, providing easy connectivity to the Dutch Caribbean for the Canadian market.
“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.”
“We are committed to staying up-to-date with our customers’ travel wants and needs,” CEO of WestJet Group, Alexis von Hoensbroech, commented. “With this new flight, Canadians can explore more corners of the Caribbean and trade in Toronto’s cold snow for Bonaire’s warm breeze.”
As the first open sale flight to and from Canada, Bonaireans will also be able to book non-stop travel to Toronto. WestJet will introduce a local initiative, specifically for Bonaireans looking to experience Canada, at a discounted rate. “This is certainly a new milestone for us, and we encourage our local community to take the opportunity to travel to Toronto – something that was much more difficult to do before this flight,” said Hennyson Thielman, Commissioner of Tourism of Bonaire. “This connection goes both ways, so it is a win-win for both destinations.”
