WestJet thanks its flight and cabin crews and the agents at the airports, all of whom are committed to continuing to serve Canadians, along with our mechanics, flight dispatchers and our network team who are keeping us safely flying.
These flights are part of WestJet’s efforts to care for Canadian citizens after the suspension of international service due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to repatriation, WestJet is keeping critical economic lifelines open in Canada through continued operations to all the cities it currently serves at a reduced frequency.
