WestJet to add new Dreamliner flights for Calgary by Summer 2020

WestJet is ramping up its Dreamliner flights for next summer.

Following the addition of the new Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 airliners this past year, WestJet has announced that it will be acquiring even more of the planes, resulting in an increase in service for customers in Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver.

“As we welcome new 787 deliveries, we continue to showcase WestJet’s award-winning guest experience to the world,” said Arved von zur Muehlen, WestJet chief commercial officer, in a release.

“Our Dreamliner service is unique to WestJet and through increased domestic and transatlantic connections we’re able to offer Canadians and visitors a superior experience whether travelling for business or leisure.”
