In 2023, WestJet reports reducing its fuel emissions by 11 per cent compared to 2019.

WestJet says the lower levels of aircraft emission intensity can be attributed to fleet modernization and a shift in network planning. This means that by incorporating newer, more fuel-efficient aircraft and optimizing flight routes, WestJet is effectively minimizing its impact on the environment.

Angela Avery, WestJet Group Executive Vice President and Chief People, Corporate and Sustainability Officer, says “Sustainability has been a core value for WestJet for more than two decades. Our achievements in reducing emissions intensity demonstrates our commitment to climate change and positions WestJet as a leader in Canada with a proven track record in sustainable aviation.”
