The WestJet Group has shared its targeted timeline for the integration of Sunwing Airlines into WestJet Airlines to complete the airline's strategy to move all 737s into the same AOC (air operator certificate). Planning and integration activities are “well underway”, with the goal of completing integration efforts by October 2024, said the group.
"As we execute upon our network strategy to serve the Canadian leisure market from coast-to-coast, we look forward to consolidating Sunwing Airline's 737 aircraft, with that of WestJet's, enhancing our ability to meet the diverse travel and product needs of all Canadians," said Alexis von Hoensbroech, Chief Executive Officer, the WestJet Group. "Integration work will prioritize a seamless transition for Sunwing's customers and employees as we work together to bring enhanced sun and leisure offerings to communities across the country and ensure jobs for those transferring to WestJet from Sunwing Airlines.
