Fly to Orlando with WestJet starting today, on a direct non-stop flight from the Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport

DIEPPE, NB – As part of our winter sun schedule, WestJet is the first to start the season with its direct non-stop flight to Orlando, Florida starting December 18 from the Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport (YQM).

Like last year, YQM is offering more destinations and more frequencies to sun destinations than all of the other New Brunswick airports combined.

YQM has several options during winter months by airlines offering direct non-stop flights to southern destinations. This upcoming winter will have up to 14 flights per week to 7 distinct destinations. Transat Holidays is offering flights from Greater Moncton to Florida, Mexico, Cuba and Dominican Republic. Sunwing Vacations is offering direct flights to Florida, Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Mexico. Celebrity Cruises is back this year with two weeks in March offering an all-inclusive flight and cruise program including a direct flight out of YQM to Florida then onto an Eastern Caribbean cruise. Meanwhile, WestJet is also offering direct flights from Greater Moncton to Florida. For details, check YQM’s website (www.cyqm.ca) under the “Flight Information” tab, contact the airlines directly or call your travel agent.

“As New Brunswick’s busiest passenger airport, we’re very proud of what we have to offer and appreciate the support of our travelers for using the airport which is crucial for growth and development of air service”, said Bernard LeBlanc, YQM President and CEO. “With yet another year of outstanding service offerings, we continue to work hard on making YQM the airport of preference for the Maritime region.”
