CALGARY — WestJet’s new service to Nashville is up and running, making the Tennessee capital the second U.S. destination for WestJet Encore. This summer WestJet and WestJet Encore will operate more than 120 flights per day from Toronto including new services to Los Angeles, Boston and London (Gatwick).

Flight 3650 took off this morning for Nashville from Toronto Pearson International Airport. “Our schedule and connectivity to Nashville out of Toronto, combined with our low fares and caring service, provides a convenient option for those travelling to visit the area whether for leisure or business,” said WestJet Encore President, Ferio Pugliese. “This newest destination is further proof of WestJet’s continued commitment to providing more travel options and liberating Canadians, and Americans, from the high cost of air travel. We look forward to serving Music City, U.S.A.”
