WestJet has completed the cabin transformation of its remaining all-economy aircraft, marking the completion of interior upgrades to aircraft formerly operated by Swoop and Sunwing Airlines.

The reconfigured aircraft now feature Premium seating, an expanded Extended Comfort cabin, upgraded amenities and refreshed interiors as WestJet works to standardize the onboard experience across its narrowbody fleet.

“Unifying our narrowbody fleet is an important step in delivering the reliable and welcoming experience our guests and WestJetters expect from us,” said Samantha Taylor, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Experience Officer. “This milestone creates a stronger foundation for our teams to focus on delivering exceptional service and a seamless travel experience for our guests.”

The former all-economy aircraft now offer WestJet’s Premium, Extended Comfort and Economy cabins, with new onboard features including fast and free WestJet Wi-Fi presented by TELUS, updated headrests with four-way adjustment, seatback phone and tablet holders, modernized charging ports and coat hooks.

The airline’s fleet transformation will continue next month, when WestJet begins refurbishing its legacy narrowbody aircraft with the enhanced amenities and expanded Extended Comfort cabins now offered aboard its reconfigured aircraft.

That work is scheduled to begin in September and is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. Approximately 14 Boeing 737-800 aircraft are slated to receive the upgrades in 2026.

WestJet is also updating the exterior of its narrowbody fleet, with the airline expecting all WestJet aircraft to carry its teal and navy livery by the end of 2026.

The carrier has meanwhile completed another cabin retrofit project ahead of schedule, restoring legroom aboard Boeing 737 aircraft that had briefly operated in a 180-seat configuration. Originally expected to be completed this fall, the project wrapped up part-way through June. All aircraft affected by the 180-seat configuration are now operating with 174 seats, refreshed interiors and enhanced amenities, including WestJet Wi-Fi presented by TELUS.
