WestJet is a Canadian commercial airline headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. It functions as a major scheduled carrier within the global aerospace value chain, providing passenger transport and air cargo services. Originally established as a low-cost operator, the company has evolved into a full-service international carrier, operating a mix of narrow-body and wide-body aircraft to serve domestic, transborder, and overseas destinations. The organisation operates a significant fleet of Boeing 737 Next Generation and MAX aircraft, alongside Boeing 787 Dreamliners for long-haul routes. It maintains a regional subsidiary, WestJet Encore, which utilizes De Havilland Canada Dash 8-Q400 turboprops. The company participates in extensive codeshare agreements and joint ventures with international partners such as Delta Air Lines and Air France-KLM to extend its network reach across Europe and Asia. Prospective commercial partners or service buyers should verify the current status of the airline's fleet renewal programmes and labour agreements. It is necessary to confirm specific route availability and seasonal scheduling, which is subject to frequent adjustment. Technical partners should assess the organisation's maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) infrastructure and its compliance with Transport Canada civil aviation regulations.
