WestJet makes a play for Air Canada customers with new European routes

WestJet Airlines plans to launch non-stop service from Calgary to Dublin, Paris and London Gatwick using its first 3 new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, challenging Air Canada with transatlantic flights that target business passengers and the jet set. The airline aims to invest roughly C$4b in new airplanes over the next 6 or 7 years, including 10 Dreamliners, CE Ed Sims said. The new routes reflect not just a grab for more would-be Air Canada passengers, but also an attempt to entice new travellers. <br/>
