Based on the low-cost business model pioneered by Southwest Airlines, the airline’s initial routes were all in western Canada (giving the airline its name) before international expansion began in 2004 with the launch of various routes to the USA. Trans-Atlantic flights began in June 2015 with the launch of flights to Dublin (and later Glasgow) before wide body aircraft (Boeing 767-300ERs) were sourced to begin services to London Gatwick in May 2016. Flights to Paris CDG commenced in 2018 before the 787 Dreamliner arrived in 2019. #WestJet #Calgary #Toronto #Vancouver #YYZ #YYZ #YVR #Boeing #BoeingLovers #B767 #B763 #LGW #EGKK #Gatwick #29Aviation #AvGeek #Aviation #Plane #PlanePorn#Pilot #MegaPlane #InstagramAviation #InstaPlane #AviationPhotography #PlaneSpotter #Aviation4U #Airline #Aircraft #LoveWhereYoureGoing (at Gatwick Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_u0c0mn0OD/?igshid=wqk1isb033l3
