737 Boeing MAX purchase agreement

• WestJet announced in August 2013 an order for 65 Boeing 737 MAX

aircraft with delivery dates of Sep 2017 through 2027

• Converting 15 Next Generation 737 deliveries to 737 MAX for a net

increase of 50 firm commitments for 737 aircraft

• Key benefits of this order:

• Maintains the flexibility we have built into our fleet plan, including future

lease renewal options

– Boeing 737 fleet size between 120 and 162 aircraft by 2023

• Improved operational costs: CFM International LEAP-1B engines expected to

reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions by 13% compared with today’s most

efficient single-aisle airplanes

• New Boeing Sky Interior will contribute to an enhanced guest experience

Growing our fleet and improving costs

The evolution of inflight entertainment

• February 2014: WestJet signed multi-year agreement with Panasonic

for new inflight entertainment & connectivity (IFEC) system

• New IFEC will feature wireless internet connectivity, live streaming

television, on-demand movies and more

• Installation to begin by the end of 2014 and installed on WestJet’s

fleet over next two years

• Key benefits include:

• Increased value proposition for business travellers – addition of Wi-Fi enables guests to make their time in the air as productive as possible

• Increased efficiency – removing seatback monitors reduces aircraft weight and increases fuel efficiency

• Guests can use their personal devices to access live and stored content, and purchase vacation packages or other merchandise online
