Tremendous opportunity for WestJet
Calgary, Alberta -- Sept. 24, 2007--- WestJet today welcomed the federal government's decision to grant designation
for WestJet to provide scheduled service to St. Lucia.
"We are pleased with the government's decision and thank Minister
Cannon for his vision," said Bob Cummings, Executive Vice-President,
Guest Experience and Marketing. "This represents a tremendous
opportunity for WestJet to bring our fun and friendly service to St.
Lucia on a scheduled basis. This news ensures that our strategic plan
of deploying aircraft to warmer climates over the winter months
continues, allowing us to expand to these destinations while bringing
low fares and high value to our guests.
"While this designation is effective immediately, we will be
working on our winter plans to determine the optimal offering that
provides our guests with what they are looking for from WestJet - an
exceptional guest experience, convenient schedules and low fares."
WestJet has been granted designation to fly scheduled service into St. Lucia from Toronto.
WestJet will continue to provide charter flying for Transat Tours
Canada. WestJet and Transat Tours Canada signed an agreement through to
2010 in February 2007.
"Transat Tours Canada remains an important partner for WestJet," said Bob Cummings.
