"There's nobody better to deal with the lodge experience than flight specialists, so we provide for them the capability to amend issues then and there," Matheson says. At the point when the organization was littler, flight orderlies would go to the door, make a telephone call, and have the operator on the flip side of the line alter the issue. As Westjet has developed, on the other hand, that has ended up increasingly hard.

WestJet throughout the years

WestJet Airlines Ltd. has a history longing back to few decades. As it was founded in 1996, it has come a long way ahead from those times in terms of service, fleet and international partnerships as well. WestJet also got its name because in the early days its original routes were all located in Western Canada. In precisely 1996, the airline served major routes such as Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, Vancouver and Winnipeg. Later, by the end of this year, some routes such as Regina, Saskatoon and Victoria were also added to its network.

In the early 2000's, the WestJet expanded its service to the many major cities of Ontario as well as those of Thompson and Manitoba. Also, in the year 2003, WestJet entered into a two-year agreement with Air Transat in which the chartered flights began operating to Mexico and the Caribbean. However, this agreement was terminated in February 2009. Later in the year 2004, WestJet was accused of industrial espionage by the rival airline Air Canada where they filed a civil suit in Ontario Superior Court. Later in 2006, WestJet admitted to the charges and agreed to their terms and  conditions.

International expansion paved its way for the WestJet in mid 2000's when a large number of US destinations were added and announced. Also, the flights from the Toronto Pearson International Airport were tripled and the whole focus of the Eastern operations was moved from Hamilton to Toronto in January 2004. Also, in 2006, WestJet scheduled its first service outside Canada and US to Bahamas, which was a huge milestone within the company's international market presence.
