WestJet has increased frequencies on three of its 17 European routes for the upcoming peak summer season. All additional flights will be operated by the Boeing 737 MAX 8.
As a result, narrowbody transatlantic flights by Canada's second-largest airline have risen nearly 20% to a record 56 weekly flights in July, up from the previously scheduled 47. When all European services are included, WestJet has now scheduled 86 weekly flights, marking a 12% increase.
According to Cirium Diio data, WestJet's 17 European routes are summarized below. The increase on three routes appears partly facilitated by shifting equipment following frequency reductions on some U.S. routes.
