WestJet has taken delivery the first of 10 Boeing 787-9s it has on order.

Configured with 320 seats in a three-class configuration, the Canadian carrier is set to deploy the aircraft on new international services, including flights from Calgary to European cities such as Dublin, London and Paris.

The impact of an uncertain economy has not held back the Calgary-based airline WestJet, as it reported a 33.4% increase in first-quarter net earnings, and a record load factor for the month of April—an encouraging signal for Albertans in today’s tough financial times.

In a report released Tuesday, the company announced its first quarter results for 2019, with net earnings of $45.6 million, a 5.5% increase in profit margin, among a minimal 0.3- percentage point decrease in operating margin from the same time last year.

Ser ut som de beholder noe fra Vancouver, mens Toronto kuttes. I tillegg til økte frevenser fra Calgary, åpner de også Barcelona, Edinburgh, og deres første asiatiske rute til Tokyo (3x ukentlig)
