Fleet
WestJet (IATA: WS, ICAO: WJA) is Canada's major low-cost airline, established in 1996. The carrier has grown from a regional operator into a significant player in North American aviation, serving leisure and business travelers with a focus on affordability and operational reliability.
The airline operates from two primary hubs: Calgary International Airport and Toronto Pearson International Airport. This dual-hub strategy enables WestJet to offer extensive connectivity across Canada, the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean, making it accessible to both western and eastern Canadian markets as well as cross-border travelers.
WestJet's modern fleet consists of Boeing 737 and Boeing 787 aircraft. The 737 family handles the majority of domestic and regional routes, while the 787 Dreamliner serves long-haul international operations. This mix of narrow-body and wide-body jets allows the airline to optimize costs and passenger comfort across its route network.
