/noticias.info/


AUGUST 3, 2005 - 18:30:15 ET CALGARY, ALBERTA-- WestJet (TSX:WJA)
provided the following update today on its operations:

- WestJet is operating 98.9% of its schedule today, with some delays
into and out of Toronto as a result of poor weather.

- WestJet cancelled 44 flights on August 2 and five flights on August 3
as a result of the incident involving Air France 358 on August 2 in
Toronto.

- 5966 WestJet guests were affected by delays or cancelled flights as a
result of the incident. WestJet is trying to accommodate guests affected
by cancelled or delayed flights on the next available aircraft; however,
this can be difficult as it is the peak travel season and the airline is
experiencing high flight loads.

- To help alleviate the backlog of travellers, WestJet is operating
additional flights.

Any WestJet guests who are scheduled for a flight into or out of Toronto
may change their booking to another WestJet flight for travel until
August 9, 2005 (inclusive) at no charge until 12:01 a.m. (MDT) August 4,
2005. Guests are encouraged to check current flight departure and
arrival information using Flight Tracker on the airline's website at
www.westjet.com, or by calling 1-800-538-5696.
