WestJet has made its largest ever aircraft order with Boeing, the company said on September 3, 2025.
The Canadian airline made a purchase agreement for 60 737 MAX narrowbodies, with options for an additional 25. The order also includes seven 787-9 Dreamliner widebodies, with options for four more.
The order increases the airline's current orderbook to 123 aircraft and 40 options, while extending WestJet's fleet growth plans through 2034.
“With the addition of these aircraft, WestJet has the largest orderbook of any airline in Canada and will double our fleet of Dreamliners, underpinning our growth plans and our commitment to affordable travel options for Canadians from coast to coast and exciting career paths for our people,” said WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech. “These highly efficient and comfortable aircraft are critical to the growth and renewal of our fleet and will also significantly improve our fuel consumption.”
“We are honoured that WestJet has once again placed its trust in Boeing with a major investment that builds on our three decades of partnership and solidifies their fleet for the decades ahead,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Stephanie Pope. “We look forward to supporting WestJet's exciting growth as they leverage the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner to serve even more guests with great efficiency and comfort.”
WestJet currently operates 193 passenger aircraft, inclusive of 147 Boeing 737s, seven 787s, and 39 De Havilland Q400s. The airline's fleet has an average age of approximately 10 years.
