First non-stop flight from Canada to Belize

With the departure of flight 2604 from Toronto Pearson International Airport on Saturday, WestJet officially becomes the only Canadian carrier directly connecting Canadians to the beautiful country of Belize.

“We have absolutely changed the game with our twice-weekly service from Toronto," said Bob Cummings, WestJet executive vice-president, Commercial.

Belize is WestJet's 21st destination in the Caribbean and third destination in Central America.  During peak winter months the airline has a total of more than 90 flights per week from Toronto to the Caribbean and Central America.

Flights will be operated on WestJet's Boeing 737 aircraft.
