WestJet plans temporary service between Maui and two locations in Canada

By Wendy Osher

WestJet plans to add direct service between Canada and Hawaii.  WestJet plans to operate the flights for two and a half months using a Boeing 757-200 plane leased from North American Airlines, that’s able to seat 193 passengers.

The seating capacity is an increase from the space available on the company’s own 737-700 aircraft. “So, now even more guests will have access to the only daytime schedule in both directions on convenient non-stop flights to Maui and Honolulu,” said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Strategy and Planning.

“This announcement demonstrates our flexibility as an airline as well as our ability to maintain our competitive edge in this market,” said Dunleavy.
