WestJet suspends international operations
WestJet will suspend international operations starting March 22 as the coronavirus prompts govts to close borders and impose other measures to stop the spread of the virus. “Prime minister Trudeau made an explicit declaration to all Canadians abroad that it is time to come home,” writes CE Ed Sims in a note Monday. “Based on this statement and the recommendations to Canadians to control the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19, we have made impactful decisions related to our operations.” The airline will suspend all international flights – including “transborder” flights to the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe – for 30 days starting March 22, the airline says. Domestic operations will be cut 50% during that time. <br/>
