WestJet has unveiled a new seasonal route launching June 27, connecting Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) with Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN). Operating four times weekly throughout summer 2025, the service provides Atlantic Canadians with direct access to one of WestJet’s most in-demand European destinations.

“This route is poised to become a favourite among those eager to explore Spain and beyond,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “Service between Halifax and Barcelona complements our expansive and most significant transatlantic schedule from Atlantic Canada.

“We are thrilled that WestJet will be launching the first-ever non-stop service connecting Halifax Stanfield to Spain. This new summer seasonal route to Barcelona, a city renowned for its culture and architecture, not only opens a gateway to one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations but also welcomes visitors from Spain and beyond to explore the heritage and natural beauty of Atlantic Canada. We thank WestJet for their commitment to expanding international travel; with six WestJet flights now linking Halifax with Europe, our horizons continue to broaden. We look forward to a summer of new connections for our community,” said Marie Manning, Vice President, Business Development & Chief Commercial Officer, Halifax International Airport Authority.

The inclusion of Barcelona in WestJet’s summer 2025 transatlantic schedule further expands the airline’s offerings from Halifax. In 2025, WestJet will operate more transatlantic flights from Halifax Stanfield International Airport than ever before, featuring new routes to Amsterdam, Paris, and Barcelona, along with the return of popular services to London, Dublin, and Edinburgh.
