CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 6, 2007) - WestJet (TSX:WJA)
today announced its monthly traffic results reporting a January load
factor of 75.9 per cent, on capacity of 1.2 billion available seat
miles. This is the airline's best January load factor in history.
Sean Durfy, WestJet's President commented, "January's record load
factor is particularly satisfying when considering our 19 per cent
growth in capacity. Our seasonal deployment strategy showed
significant year-over-year improvements from winter 2005 to 2006. As
we execute this strategy in 2007, we are pleased our year-over-year
revenue per available seat mile (RASM) for January is favourable and
