August 14, 2021 ctn_admin
CITYNEWSTORONTO – WestJet is asking for patience from guests as they deal with a staffing shortage.
After basically being in hibernation for the last year Richard Bartrem, WestJet’s VP of Communication, says they are in the process of bringing back staff as quickly as possible.
“If you look at an airline like WestJet that pre-pandemic would have had more than 700 flights a day back in 2019. We got down to a low of about 30 flights a day and now we’re back to about 350 flights that are operating across our network every day and we’re trying to balance out and bring back the requisite number of people as quickly as possible.”
