WestJet was founded in 1996 by Clive Beddoe and a team of like-minded partners. Armed with that philosophy, three aircraft, five destinations and 220 friendly WestJetters, it began its journey. This journey would help the airline become a company of more than 9,700 passionate WestJetters flying one of the youngest Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft fleets to more than 88 destinations across the network. By 2016, WestJet will be one of the five most successful international airlines worldwide, providing guests with a friendly, caring experience that will change air travel forever.
