News Releases

CALGARY, Dec. 18 /CNW/ - WestJet (TSX:WJA) today announced the completion
of their cross-country Toy Drive for Sick Kids, dropping off the last of over
2,400 toys to sick children in all 23 of their Canadian destination cities.
Over 2,400 toys were donated by WestJetters across the country as part of
their ongoing community investment initiatives.
"This is something that WestJet has been doing regionally for years and
the coast-to-coast tour represents our growing commitment to support
children's health causes throughout the communities in which we operate," says
Richard Bartrem, Director of Culture and Communications at WestJet, "WestJet
pilots, customers service agents, flight attendants and office staff who
participated brought smiles to the faces of many children and families. It was
an honour for us to be able to participate in such an initiative in so many
hospitals."
WestJet's spirit and compassion shone bright as the goal of gathering an
average of 100 toys for each of the 23 hospitals was well exceeded. From St.
John's to Comox, pilots, local airport staff and customer service agents
visited hospital Christmas parties, playrooms and patient rooms to distribute
the toys to kids aged seven-weeks to 18 years old. In addition to the donation
of toys, WestJet also donated flights to the fundraising arms of each hospital
to be used throughout 2007.

low-fare airline offering scheduled service throughout its 35-city North
American and Caribbean network. Named Canada's most admired corporate culture
in 2006, WestJet pioneered low-cost high-value flying in Canada. With
