CALGARY — The WestJet Group will acquire an additional three Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft from BOC Aviation Limited. The three aircraft are expected to integrate into the WestJet Group’s fleet and operations in 2024, following the completion of leasing agreements. “We have an ambitious growth strategy, and the expansion of our fleet is critical to our mission of providing affordable air travel to Canadians,” said Mike Scott, WestJet Group, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.
“Working with a trusted partner like BOC Aviation supports us in meeting our growth expectations for 2024.” Updating and refreshing the interior cabins of the aircraft will be prioritized as part of the airlines’ existing fleet reconfiguration plans, to ensure a consistent experience for guests across its operation as soon as possible, according to the company. “Two years ago, we set out a plan for growth that would maintain our position as both Canada’s national leisure champion and western home carrier, while enhancing domestic connectivity from coast-to-coast,” said Scott.
“We are seeing the benefits of our strategy come to life across our network and the consistent growth of our fleet capacity is essential to maintaining our momentum.” EDMONTON SCHEDULE WestJet has also unveiled its Edmonton winter 2024/2025 flight schedule featuring a 20% increase in capacity over winter 2023.
