Website | About
Founded in December of 2018, WestJet Virtual is a professionally oriented Virtual Airline based off the Canadian carrier WestJet. We offer a diverse and professional aroma within our Virtual Airline, offering real routes along our Group Airlines, a funded crew center with codeshare additions and and active support for any issues, a modern up-to-date website, and multiple programs to suit all pilots. Everyday we aim to be different, and make ourselves stand out with new ideas and characteristics. We also want to offer a healthy, welcoming environment that all pilots feel part of, and not distant to. Our staff have put in days of work, morning to night, revamping this Virtual Airline, meeting the pilot’s needs, not ours. Along with that, our Virtual Airline is constantly changing to keep pace with the modern pilot, but remaining diversity.
In alignment with the real WestJet, we offer over 150 destinations (including codeshares), flown with all seven aircraft (and 20+ codeshare fleet) in our mainline fleet. We have a fully interactive crew center with active staff-support, allowing pilots to track flights, book flights, file PIREPS, research all routes and destinations, and more! We would love for you to come see what it is all about!
Why are we called WestJet Virtual Group?
Here, we operate 5 airlines under the eyes of our Virtual Airline, with WestJet being the primary owner, we also run WestJet Link, WestJet Encore, Swoop, and Pacific Coastal. This means you can fly any of these airlines when flying with us!
Our team consists of some of the hardest, most devoted individuals within our community. They work day and night to keep our Virtual Airline running smoothly, and efficiently. They are crucial to all work within, and out of the Virtual Airline. Below are our staff, and the credit to the people we will always be thankful for, when creating this Virtual Airline almost 2 years ago.

I’m ECoops123, an experienced Infinite Flight user and Canada lover. I love to help others and expand myself to all areas of Infinite Flight that I can. I’m regularly around and always looking for fun. I hope to be a commercial pilot when I’m older, with a great interest in WestJet. I have been part of this VA since it’s original launch in January 2019, before taking position as CEO in February 2020. Since then I have been actively running this VA for a year, and hope to continue for many more.

Routes
WestJet Virtual offers more than 150 destinations in three continents, and an additional 145 codeshare routes across the globe. Pilots can view all the routes WestJet Virtual Group fly from their choice of airports in no more than a few taps on our Crew Center!
Bases
Our pilots have the choice between six pilot bases, stretching across Canada. These bases all offer different routes, allowing pilots to explore even more of the world. All our Banff National Park Program pilots will all start in our home of Calgary, and will have the option to venture to other bases as their journey progress. Our Maple Leaf Program Pilots May chose any base, but can only change once every three months.
Take a look at our hubs and focus cities below!
CYYC - Calgary International Airport - Base
Calgary’s International Airport, is WestJet Virtual Group’s base, our main hub, and where all our new applicants will start off at. With 645 scheduled routes in and out of Calgary, we serve all aircraft from the smallest in our fleet, the TBM-930 with WestJet Link, to our largest, the 787-9 Dreamliner here to destinations across Europe.
CYVR - Vancouver International Airport - Hub
Vancouver’s International airport, located on it’s own island is our CEO’s favourite go-to place in the world! We offer many routes around the world from the Main Terminal with WestJet, down to our TBM routes around British Columbia in the South Terminal with Pacific Coastal. Here at Vancouver we offer 260 scheduled routes across the globe with WestJet Virtual Group.
CYYZ - Toronto Pearson International Airport - Hub
At Toronto, we operate many aircraft from the Dash 8 to the 787-9 Dreamliner. At Toronto we operate 476 scheduled routes across the globe! Toronto has some of the best approach and departures across the city, and across Lake Ontario, we highly suggest a flight in from Montreal, Ottowa, and Quebec!
CYHZ - Halifax Standfield International Airport - Focus City
At Halifax, WestJet is well known for serving as one of the only few airlines that operate transatlantic 737 flights. We used to operate from Halifax to many destinations around Europe on the 737 MAX, but currently we now operate the 737-700 across the pond. We highly suggest flying one of these unique routes! At Halifax we operate 61 scheduled routes.
CYWG - Winnipeg International Airport - Focus City
Located in Central Canada, Winnipeg hosts many flights from across all corners of Canada. Winnipeg is a fun small airport to fly to, with us operating 86 scheduled routes here.

Edmonton, located a short way north of Calgary, is a smaller airport with some stunning arrivals from the West Coast. we highly suggest flying a Dash 8 here! At Edmonton we have 287 scheduled routes.
Fleet
Our fleet coordinates with the current WestJet fleet within the app, allowing to get the closest to realism as possible, just a tap away. The WestJet Virtual fleet has a huge range of flights, anywhere from a TBM-930 with service to our local destinations, all the way to the beautiful Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, connections us to Europe and Beyond!
TBM 930
The TBM-930 operates our WestJet Link and Pacific Costal SAAB 340 routes currently since there’s no SAAB aircraft in Infinite Flight currently. We mainly use this aircraft for short 30 minutes to an hour hops, for our newer member to learn how to fly in the local area and explore the beauty of Canada.

This aircraft is our VA favourite, we even have a manual to help you understand his to fly the aircrwft realistically!
Boeing 737-700
The Boeing 737-700 is part of the main fleet of WestJet flying to all of our destinations across America and Europe. Dud you know that WestJet is one of the very few Transatlantic operators that use the 737?
