Airline adjusts schedule through June 24
CALGARY, Jan. 21, 2020 /CNW/ - Following Boeing's
announcement regarding the 737-MAX aircraft, WestJet today
announced it will be updating its schedule to remove the aircraft
through to June 24, 2020. Any
affected guests will be proactively contacted once work is
complete.
"We thank our guests for their patience and our WestJetters for
their commitment to keeping our airline moving safely and on time
as we continue to adjust our schedule," said Ed Sims, WestJet President and CEO. "We remain
confident in the regulatory process undertaken by the Federal
Aviation Authority (FAA) and Transport Canada to ensure the safe
return of the aircraft."
WestJet has completed more than 98 per cent of its planned
departures even while its 13 MAX aircraft remain on the ground.
