WestJet Encore is a subsidiary and feeder of Westjet Airlines and flies turboprop aircraft to smaller destinations within Canada .

history

In 2012, Westjet Encore was founded as a subsidiary of Westjet Airlines and began flight operations on June 24, 2013 with two DHC-8-400 aircraft. The low-cost airline is designed as a direct competitor to Air Canada's feeder airline , the now independent Jazz Aviation . Accordingly, a rapid expansion strategy was chosen with an order for 20 aircraft for the first year of operation. The fleet of 14 machines in 2014 was to be doubled within two years in order to be able to control 40 percent of Canada's regional market. By the beginning of 2017, more than 30 aircraft were in service. At the same time, Westjet Encore's turboprop aircraft can replace the parent company's larger jets at low frequencies.

As of March 2020, the WestJet Encore fleet consists of 47 aircraft with an average age of 4.5 years:
