QantasLink Takes Delivery Of 1st Ex-WestJet Dash 8 Q400

For delivery, the aircraft flew east, stopping in Iceland, Norway, Slovenia, Egypt, Oman, India, and Indonesia before finally arriving in Australia.

It appears the airline is retaliating against the Canadian carrier.

The Canadian airline will fly to Paris from three Canadian airports next summer.

The new routes underline the importance of winter sun destinations in WestJet’s seasonal network strategy.

Over 300 examples are still operating around the world since the type’s launch in 2000.

The Canadian airline released the ad following the US election.

At over 2,000 miles, many of these are longer than an international trip from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to Shannon, Ireland.

WestJet is adding leased aircraft that are configured differently from its main fleet and making temporary cabin changes during this transition.

Air Canada has the largest market share and only one airline has a long-haul flight.
