WestJet, founded in 1996, is a Canadian carrier that began as a low-cost airline and has evolved into a hybrid carrier offering economy, premium and business options on selected routes. Advantages include competitive fares, a strong domestic, transborder and limited international route network, regional affiliates (Encore/Link) and a relatively modern fleet including 737s and 787s with generally friendly crew. Disadvantages include variable on-time performance during peak periods, mixed service consistency, ancillary fees and a smaller long-haul footprint versus legacy global rivals. It holds a Skytrax rating of 3 stars.
