WestJet to launch nonstop service between Halifax and Barcelona

HALIFAX — WestJet will be launching new nonstop service between Halifax and Barcelona this summer.

Starting June 27, the seasonal route will operate four times per week between Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) and Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) as part of WestJet’s summer 2025 schedule.

According to John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer, the route is poised to become a favourite among those eager to explore Spain and beyond.

“Service between Halifax and Barcelona complements our expansive and most significant transatlantic schedule from Atlantic Canada. As demand for travel to Europe remains strong, this addition furthers WestJet’s presence in the market, offering more choice and flexibility for Canadians living on the East Coast,” said Weatherill.

The addition of Barcelona to WestJet’s summer 2025 transatlantic schedule builds on the airline’s service offering from Halifax. In 2025, the airline offers more transatlantic flights from YHZ than ever before, including new routes to Amsterdam, Paris and now Barcelona, as well as the return of popular services to London, Dublin and Edinburgh.
