WestJet Launches Montreal-Boston Service

WestJet had launched the start of service between Montreal and Boston, marking the last of three new routes introduced by the airline from Montreal this year.

WestJet has significantly expanded its service to, from and within the province of Quebec in 2017,” said Brian Znotins, WestJet vice-president, Network Planning, Alliances and Corporate Development. “This expansion demonstrates our commitment to bring lower airfares to communities across Canada and create new opportunities for business and leisure travellers to get more value for their travel budgets.”

WestJet began point-to-point service for the first time within the province of Quebec on June 15, with four daily flights between Montreal and Quebec City. In addition, the airline launched twice-daily service between Montreal and Halifax on March 15. With the addition of WestJet’s new services, the airline now operates an average of 167 weekly departures from Montreal.

All three new routes are operated by WestJet’s regional airline, WestJet Encore, and its fleet of Canadian-made Bombardier Q400s.
