CDB Aviation has today the delivery of three Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft to its existing customer, Calgary-based carrier WestJet. These latest technology 737-MAX8 aircraft will strengthen WestJet’s narrowbody fleet, delivering greater fuel efficiency and providing affordable and flexible air travel options for the airline’s guests, including satellite-supported WiFi. Canada’s coast-to-coast leisure champion and western home carrier will deploy the 737-8 aircraft as part of its ongoing fleet expansion process in tandem with its affordable cost structure as a key accelerator of its growth strategy.
Commenting on the deliveries, CDB Aviation’s Head of Commercial, the Americas, Luís da Silva, said, “We’ve built a strong partnership with the WestJet team since the inaugural transaction between our companies in 2020. To date, we have financed and leased a total of 13 737-8 aircraft, which support this strong and growing Canadian airline. CDB Aviation values our expanding relationship with WestJet, and we are pleased to be able to support their fleet expansion in an environmentally friendly manner, as we deliver these three additional fuel-efficient 737-8 aircraft directly from our orderbook.”
Also commenting was WestJet’s Senior Vice President, Treasurer, Jennifer Bue, who added, “CDB Aviation is a valued partner of WestJet. The relationship enables WestJet to continue our momentum, driving our growth strategy.”
