West Jet
Air Canada is a famous international airline in Canada, and West Jet is a famous domestic airline in Canada. West-Jet was founded in 1996 by Clive Beddoe and a team of like-minded partners, who believed that just because you pay less for your flight, doesn’t mean you should get less.
Armed with that philosophy, three planes, five destinations and 220 friendly WestJetters, they began their journey; a journey that would take them to the 7,800 WestJetters flying 88 Boeing Next-Generation aircrafts to 71 destinations in Canada, the U.S., the Caribbean and Mexico that they have today.
