23 years since we received our first delivery of the first 737-700 from Boeing. ✈
Twenty-three years ago, we celebrated the delivery of the first 737-700 to WestJet Airlines. With this delivery, the #Calgary-based airline became the first and only Canadian carrier to operate the airplane. Since then, WestJet has grown its all-Boeing mainline fleet to more than 150 airplanes with orders for more than 50 additional jets.
