WestJet unveils the largest single-season expansion in company’s history
WestJet today unveiled its largest-ever seasonal non-stop flight schedule, featuring a record eight new international destinations and three additional U.S. destinations for the winter of 2009-2010. By late fall 2009, WestJet will operate service to 66 cities in more than 10 countries, as compared to 51 cities in eight countries one year ago.
Beginning in late fall, WestJet and WestJet Vacations will launch seasonal non-stop service to Varadero, Holguin and
Cayo Coco, Cuba; Ixtapa and
Cozumel, Mexico; St. Martin; Providenciales, Turks and Caicos;
Freeport, Bahamas; Lihue (Kauai), Hawaii; Miami, Florida; and
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
'This is another first for WestJet,' said Chris Avery, WestJet’s Vice-President, Revenue and Planning. 'We have never announced as many destinations at one time, which demonstrates that we continue to deliver on our strategic plan by expanding our network and providing our world-class guest experience each and every day. We remain confident that in spite of the current economic conditions, WestJet’s unsurpassed value and our status as Canada’s preferred airline will see old friends and new guests alike flying with us this winter.'
'This schedule represents significant expansion on both the transborder (U.S.) and international fronts,' said Chris Avery. 'Both are strategic decisions as we continue to aggressively pursue and earn profitable market share in these critical areas. WestJet is well on its way to becoming the market leader in many of the most popular sun destinations in the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean.'
