Westjet-encoreQ400-June26

WestJet has announced it will launch twice-daily, non-stop service between Toronto and Fredericton, New Brunswick, effective April 15, 2015.

Flights will be operated by WestJet Encore using its fleet of 78-seat, Canadian-made Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft.

“The launch of service to Fredericton marks WestJet Encore’s eastern-most destination to date,” said Ferio Pugliese, WestJet executive vice-president and president, WestJet Encore. “WestJet Encore’s move eastward is part of a strategic plan to continue to liberate Canadians in smaller communities from the high cost of air travel, as WestJet has done throughout its 18-year history.”
