A basic return fare booked today will cost CAN$484 ($351), while a premium fare is CAN$1066 ($774).

This is in addition to an existing order for twenty-three 737 MAXs, with the aircraft coming between 2024 and 2028. The MAX 10 program is at a critical stage and possibly facing an uncertain future, with its certification before the end of the year looking unlikely. WestJet expects fewer than 65 aircraft in the next six years, with at least 50 being 737 MAX 10 jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"673\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WestJet-to-launch-nonstops-between-Calgary-and-Terrace-B.C.-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WestJet-to-launch-nonstops-between-Calgary-and-Terrace-B.C.-1.webp 673w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WestJet-to-launch-nonstops-between-Calgary-and-Terrace-B.C.-1-600x381.webp 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WestJet-to-launch-nonstops-between-Calgary-and-Terrace-B.C.-1-300x190.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><figcaption><strong>WestJet | Aviationa2z.com<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not including the 47 Dash 8s operated by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.westjet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WestJet <\/a><\/strong>Encore, the mainline airline has a fleet of 118, exclusively comprised of\u00a0Boeing\u00a0aircraft.
