WestJet to Add Amsterdam to its Route Map

Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport

WestJet announced on Monday new service between Calgary and Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is “one of the world’s most connected cities,” the airline said in a statement announcing the new route.

The airline will begin flights to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on August 5 and will operate the route using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.

WestJet’s Dreamliners seat 320 passengers in a three-class configuration. The airline offers a business-class cabin with fully lie-flat seats, as well as a premium-economy cabin with seats in a 2-3-2 configuration.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is the second member of the Dreamliner family to be produced. Similar to the 787-8, the stretch variant of the high-tech jet uses 20% less fuel and produces 20% fewer emissions than similar-sized airplanes.
