Westjet Halts Additional 787 DreamlinersFrom the Globe and Mail
The Calgary-based airline will also reshape its fleet as it adds more narrow-body planes, including new Boeing 737 Max jets, and halt the addition of wide-body 787 Dreamliners.
In a statement, Mr. von Hoensbroech said WestJet will “pause” the purchase of more 787s, and will fly the existing ones in the west. WestJet will receive 15 new 737s this year, bringing its Max fleet to more than 30. The regional De Havilland Q400 fleet will move to Western Canada. “WestJet is working towards a substantial additional narrow body order,” WestJet said, without providing details.
