WestJet Airlines, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, is the second-largest airline in Canada. It began operations in 1996 with three aircraft, and five destinations. It was launched as a low-cost alternative to the country's major airlines. The airline has a significant domestic and international network, which serves over 100 destinations across North America, Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Central America. WestJet's fleet primarily consists of Boeing 737 aircraft, and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The 737 is well-suited for its extensive list of short and medium-haul routes, while the 787 is mainly used for its long-haul flights, with some exceptions.
