Posted by Jacob Ogles on Monday Jul 20, 2015 11:31 am

WestJet announced today it would begin flight service to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport in December, starting with nonstop service to Toronto.

The Canadian airline brings the number of air carriers with service to SRQ up to six. Perhaps most important to the tourism industry in the region, it also creates a low-cost connection with tourists throughout Canada, one of the most important sources of international visitors to the region.

“This is very exciting for Canadian customers traveling to our beautiful Gulf Coast communities, and will provide additional opportunities for locals to explore Canada and other destinations worldwide," said Fredrick Piccolo, president and CEO for SRQ airport.

WestJet starting Dec. 18 will offer nonstop service on Fridays and Sundays between SRQ and Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). The flights will be offered seasonally, running through April 29. Flights will be on a Boeing 737-700 with 136 seats. Morning flights are scheduled to depart Toronto at 8:05am and land in Sarasota at 11:06am, with afternoon flights departing Sarasota at 11:55am and landing in Toronto at 2:39pm.

WestJet flies to more than 90 destinations in over 20 countries, including the U.S. mainland, Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, Cuba, the Caribbean and Europe.
