Airline offers one-way $17 fares from Toronto to Ottawa and Toronto to
Montreal
CALGARY, Sept. 5 /CNW/ - WestJet (TSX:WJA) today announced a one-day $17
fare for guests travelling from Toronto to Ottawa or Montreal, better known as
the eastern triangle. This fare is only available for purchase on
September 5, 2007 for travel until December 15, 2007.
From September 5 until September 10, 2007, WestJet will also offer guests
$49 sale fares for travel until December 15, 2007, between Toronto and Ottawa,
and Toronto and Montreal, allowing guests another opportunity to book low
fares for travel.
"Our research shows that 90 per cent of WestJet guests, who try us, will
fly with us again. We have identified an opportunity to offer our exceptional
guest experience to people in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, at an inviting
price," said Bob Cummings, WestJet's Executive Vice-President of Guest
Experience and Marketing. "Our pricing model has not changed since 1996, when
we launched service with a cost structure that allowed us to offer airfares
below what had ever been seen in the Canadian airline industry. The same cost
structure advantage is true today; WestJet is able to offer fares that are
proven to increase our market penetration. We believe our record load factors
and significant growth this past year have been the results of our low fares
and great service."
