Loro dicono:
- “manage and recover its network in response to capacity constraints impacting the aviation ecosystem.”
- “compounding factors such as staffing levels across the industry,”
- “evaluate the return of transatlantic service in 2024.”

Tradotto, molto probabilmente, tutto questo significa poco personale/mi focalizzo dove più mi conviene.

Allo stesso momento, WestJet e l'unione dei piloti provano a concludere un contratto nuovo.
Inoltre, WestJet si concentra sempre più sul west, mentre Air Canada si focalizza ad est (a parte YVR).

EDIT:
Westjet annuncia oggi (13 febbraio 2023) una espansione da ovest Canada verso USA.

WestJet announces expanded winter schedule​

By Teodor Stefan 14-07-2025

WestJet revealed its 2025/2026 winter schedule, featuring 5 new destinations. WestJet’s full winter 2025/26 schedule is available for booking from July 14th 2025.

This winter, WestJet will operate 305 total routes and serve 62 Latin American, Caribbean, and US sun destinations, delivering more affordable opportunities for Canadians to escape the cold and enjoy sun-filled getaways. With both flight-only options through WestJet, and vacation packages through Sunwing Vacations Group, WestJet leads sun travel from Canada.

The schedule adds new destinations Panama City, Panama; Guadalajara, Mexico; Tepic (Nayarit), Mexico; Havana, Cuba; and Managua, Nicaragua. The schedule also marks Mexico City’s first winter season of operation since becoming a year-round service.
Seat capacity across the Latin America and Caribbean region is scheduled to grow by six per cent, with popular vacation hotspots like Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico in focus for new route growth.

Returning routes for winter 2025/26

Samaná, Dominican Republic, previously offered only through Sunwing Airlines, will now be offered by WestJet, connecting guests to one of the Caribbean’s fastest-growing eco-tourism regions, known for its pristine beaches and natural beauty. WestJet also returns service to four additional routes, while restarting seasonal service to dozens of Canada’s favourite winter destinations.

Strengthening Asia connectivity

In addition to sun expansion, WestJet is continuing its growth in international markets. Service between the airline’s global hub in Calgary and Tokyo (Narita) will increase from three to seven flights per week, enabling daily connectivity to Asia and contributing to 18 per cent year-over-year in intercontinental growth.
