About the airline
WestJet is a Canadian airline headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Founded in 1994, WestJet is currently the second-largest airline in Canada, and is the eighth largest airline in North America by frequency. It began operations in 1996 with 220 employees, three aircraft, and five destinations, and was launched as a low-cost alternative to the country's major airlines. WestJet operates scheduled, charter, and cargo air service, transporting more than 25 million passengers per year in over 100 destinations across North America, Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Central America. WestJet utilizes Calgary International Airport as its exclusive global connecting hub, with Toronto Pearson International Airport being a strategic secondary hub. The airline has two direct subsidiaries: WestJet Encore, which operates the De Havilland Canada Dash 8, the Q400NextGen, on routes in Western Canada, and WestJet Cargo, which operates three cargo aircraft, all Boeing 737s (800BCF), which were previously used as WestJet passenger aircraft and converted for cargo use.
