Norwegian has recently announced the launch of a first-ever route between Dublin and Hamilton, Canada.

The new route is Norwegian’s first-ever transatlantic service to Canada and the only direct flight between Ireland and Hamilton in Ontario. This summer, Hamilton will join Norwegian’s existing services to New York and Providence.

On March 31, Norwegian commenced a new service from Dublin to Toronto’s Hamilton John C. Munro International Airport offering customers a new link to Canada. Norwegian will operate flights to Hamilton on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Tickets can be booked at www.norwegian.com/ie.

Matthew Wood, SVP Commercial at Norwegian said: ‘We’re delighted to build on our popular services to the USA and offer Irish consumers another destination with our first-ever route from Dublin to Canada.

‘Customers now have an affordable option to explore a brand-new destination this summer whether visiting Hamilton, Toronto or witnessing the beauty of nature at Niagara Falls with the flexibility of a daily schedule.’

Sharon Murphy, Acting Manager at Tourism Hamilton said: ‘We can’t wait to introduce new travellers to Hamilton’s many tourist attractions and events. While the city is an affordable and ideally located alternative entry and departure point for international travellers in the busy south western Ontario travel hub – our fascinating, comeback city is also well worth a few days of exploration. Genuine and always welcoming, we’ve got breathtaking natural beauty including endless trails and waterfalls as well as a bustling and historic downtown core.’

In addition to the new Canadian route, Norwegian operates several transatlantic flights from Dublin, Shannon and Cork to the USA. The flights connect travellers to popular destinations on the US east coast by serving New York’s Stewart International Airport and Providence, Rhode Island nearby Boston.
