WestJet Sold 27 Boeing 737-700s But Will Keep Flying 17 Of Them As The MAX 10 Slips

WestJet has completed the sale of twenty-seven Boeing 737-700 aircraft as part of a strategic shift within its fleet. This decision marks the end of service for the airline’s oldest generation of narrowbody jets, specifically the 737 NG series. However, WestJet intends to retain seventeen of these same 737-700 models and reconfigure them as Boeing 737 MAX 10 airplanes. The company is anticipating deliveries of the new MAX 10 aircraft beginning in late 2024. These modifications will allow WestJet to continue operating routes currently served by the retiring 737-700s.
