Looks like West Jet just scaled up their fleet from 737s to 767s to get their foothold into Europe/Asia.

I thought Westjet was just a Canadian Budget-sort of airline.
@El_Alex: Yes they are, but they happen to be venturing into the world of long haul flights
To All: They also introduce a new livery with that 767-300ER

My uncle who flus for west jet gets the honor to fly one in a few weeks
I wouldn’t call them “budget”. Their price point is about in line with AC fares.
Hope they fly to LHR or MAN.
They also recently purchased some Q400s

I’m sure they don’t fly to Asia yet
They fly to Ireland in a 737-800 from St Johns to Dublin every Sunday so that’s good business for them venturing to the long haul sector because they have competition with Air Canada

I know Air Canada flies to Beijing, Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong
Westjet might reach NRT if the 767 has luck, otherwise it might stay in Hawaii
I’ve seen a West Jet 737 in Dublin and Glasgow
First commercial WestJet 767 flight to the UK occurred a couple days ago on May 6th. WestJet Flight 22 from YVR to LGW and WestJet flight 3 from YYZ to LGW.
