'Halifax is actually a growing hub for European connections for WestJet. So, they're adding more and more European destinations non-stop from there. So, it's great for us to have another connection,' Antonini added. The new route is expected to positively impact local connectivity, support economic development, and provide travellers with greater access to destinations across Canada. After speaking with CTV News, Antonini hopped onto the inaugural flight, and said she was excited to be one of the passengers to experience it for the first time. 'I love Halifax, so I'm excited to go and bring my family. It's just a great place and I'm also excited for Halifax to come here to Regina.
