Airline announces twice-daily service at inaugural flight press
conference

CALGARY, May 17 /CNW/ - WestJet today announced the addition of a second
daily non-stop flight between Quebec City and Toronto. Support for this
destination has been very strong and the addition of a second daily flight
will enable guests to access new markets, particularly sun destinations for
winter travellers. Starting May 17, 2008, WestJet will operate one daily
flight between Quebec City and Toronto and starting November 2, 2008, it will
increase to two flights daily.
"We are thrilled with the support we have received surrounding our entry
into Quebec City," said Bob Cummings, Executive Vice-President, Guest
Experience and Marketing. "A second daily flight will provide guests more
flexibility with travel schedules and will further open Quebec City to
WestJet's 47-city network. This additional flight connects Quebecers to many
great WestJet sun destinations, including Florida. For the Quebec City
business traveller, these additional convenient flight times make WestJet a
stronger travel alternative.
"WestJet is already bringing its low-fare high-value leadership to Quebec
City. Current pricing for Quebec City to Toronto is $109 for travel through
June 25, 2008. We encourage Quebecers to experience our friendly service on
one of our LiveTV-equipped Next-Generation Boeing 737s and take advantage of
our increased schedule in the fall."
The addition of Quebec City marks the airline's 27th destination within
Canada, giving over 25 million Canadians easy access to WestJet's expanding
network of 47 destinations in Canada, U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean.
