WestJet will operate flights from Glasgow and Cardiff to Toronto next year.
The inaugural flight from Glasgow Airport to Toronto Pearson International Airport will take off on 15 May 2026, while flights between Cardiff and Toronto will launch the following week, on 22 May.
Both routes will operate four times a week.
It is the first time WestJet will have operated at Glasgow since 2022, while the Cardiff route is brand new.
Matt Hazlewood, Chief Commercial Officer Glasgow Airport owner AGS Airports, said: “The airline’s decision to re-establish this route highlights its confidence in the Glasgow market and demonstrates the strong demand that clearly exists from both leisure and business passengers for transatlantic connectivity.
“It also underlines our commitment to delivering key routes and services for our passengers and, with Glasgow playing host to the Commonwealth Games next year, the timing of this announcement couldn’t be better.”
Wales First Minister Eluned Morgan said: “With good connections to other Canadian cities, the new Toronto route will open up new economic opportunities for Wales in North America.”
