Information from WestJet website – 21 March 2020
WestJet has repatriated more than 1800 Canadians on extra flights this week.
During this continued time of uncertainty, WestJet continues to repatriate Canadians from around the world.
Today, the airline announced that between Monday, March 23 and Wednesday, March 25 WestJet will operate 34 repatriation flights to international and transborder destinations to ensure the safe return of WestJet guests and Canadians who remain abroad. Flights will operate empty as positioning flights from Canada.
These new flights are in addition to the 10 flights that WestJet has operated this week after the Prime Minister announced it was time to come home. WestJet will continue to add flights as the need is identified.
“In the face of this global crisis, WestJetters are dedicated to bringing Canadians home,” said Ed Sims, WestJet President and CEO. “WestJet is known for its caring spirit and will do the right thing for our country, for our guests and for our people.”
WestJet and WestJet Vacations guests with current reservations on or after March 23 will receive, if they have not already, an email notification of their schedule change. All guests are urged to check the status of their flight and their emails for the most up-to-date information pertaining to their revised departure.
Any remaining seats on these flights are now also available for booking to the Canadian public and are capped at our lowest economy fare for Canadians who require transportation home. We encourage guests to make reservations through westjet.com before contacting the contact centre for assistance.
Canadians abroad are also encouraged to register with Global Affairs Canada online at travel.gc.ca. We are working with the Government of Canada to facilitate additional flights to global destinations should they be required. WestJet will provide details as they become available.
For the safety of our guests, crew and all Canadian citizens, current public health measures will apply for all guests boarding a WestJet flight home.
