WestJet Airlines
About WestJet Airlines
WestJet Airlines is a non-unionized airline based out of Alberta, Canada. The airline was founded in 1996 by four men. WestJet tried desperately to dig in its toes as a low-cost air travel company, but their fares were not really too much different from that of other competitive airlines.

WestJet airlines has a fleet of 63 Boeings, and these planes are headed for destinations around the world. WestJet routes go all over Canada and the United States, with 23 destinations in Canada and 11 destinations in the United States of America. WestJet is one of the fastest growing airline companies in the world, and is quickly coming up, economically speaking. The airline has two major hubs in Canada, one in Calgary International Airport and another in Toronto Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada. It was not until 2004 that WestJet airlines began to fly into the United States, mainly Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Now WestJet flies in and out of Fort Lauderdale, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, and even Las Vegas! These days, WestJet has even entered into deals to fly to such exotic spots as Panama Ciity, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and the Dominican Republic.

Since 1996, WestJet Airlines has slowly expanded and picked up more and more routes, and now they are able to offer better service than ever. Take a look at the website, www.westjet.com, where you can view WestJet airline schedules and discounted air travel for those who qualify. Military discounts and student discounts are always handy things to have on hand when it comes to booking air travel, as they may play to your financial advantage.

WestJet Airlines livery is very low-key. They sport all white planes, with teal and blue painted tail fins, very inconspicuous colors yet apparent to those who know what kind of design to look for. WestJet is also emblazoned across the side of their Boeing Jets. Also, so far WestJet has not had any major occurrences as far as air travel accidents go, although an emergency landing was executed once. This emergency landing resulted in no real damage to the plain and no damage to any of its passengers.
