Westjet Airlines Hub System

Westjet Airlines, with its IATA code WS, operates with a hub system that consists of several base(s) of operations and hub airports. The main base of operations for Westjet Airlines is located at Calgary International Airport (YYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This serves as the primary hub for the airline, connecting various domestic and international flights.

In addition to Calgary International Airport, Westjet Airlines also has secondary hub airports at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in Toronto, Ontario, and Vancouver International Airport (YVR) in Vancouver, British Columbia. These hub airports play a significant role in the airline's operations, facilitating seamless connections for passengers traveling to and from different destinations.

The history of Westjet Airlines' hub system dates back to its establishment in 1996. As the airline grew and expanded its route network, the need for a centralized hub system became evident. Calgary International Airport was chosen as the primary hub due to its strategic location and excellent connectivity options. Over the years, Westjet Airlines has continued to strengthen its hub system, adding additional hub airports to enhance its network reach and provide more convenient travel options for passengers.
