WestJet




As Canadian most reasonable airline, WestJet was founded in 1996 by Clive Beddoe and a team of Calgary businessmen, operates as a low-cost players in aviation industry. With a motive that just because you pay less for your flight, doesn't mean you should get less. The airline has 36% domestic market share in Canada airlines. The Airline is operating with single fleet model using Boeing 737s with capacity of 119 to 166 passengers. They have philosophy that their journey would help them to become a company of more than 8,800 passionate.

WestJeters flying one of the youngest fleets of Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft to more than 80 destinations in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. With the 2008-09 economic crisis, the airline was facing flight occupancy issue in its most of the domestic routes. Lower occupancy has forced Westjet to pull out of Sudburys and Sault Ste market (two of the destinations in Ontario market). The airline is looking to add small Bombardier or Embraer airplanes with approximately 100 seats to its fleet. Including this type of aircraft will abandon the airlines more than a decade long success strategy of operating with single fleet and implementing this new strategy will be a big challenge for management.
