WestJet Partners with CFL Ahead of Grey Cup

WestJet has entered a partnership with the Canadian Football League (CFL) to become the league's official airline, facilitating travel for teams during the post-season and for the Grey Cup, Canada's largest single-day sporting event. This collaboration builds on WestJet's long-standing support of the CFL, enhancing its commitment to connecting fans and teams nationwide. Meanwhile, the airline is grappling with significant operational disruptions due to a recent hail storm that damaged 16 aircraft, leading to the cancellation of over 600 flights. WestJet has secured temporary agreements with Canadian North to provide additional flights to accommodate affected passengers. As repairs continue on the grounded planes, WestJet has not yet provided a timeline for their return to service. Despite these challenges, WestJet remains focused on maintaining its service and supporting CFL events.
