After over 12 years, I announced my resignation from @WestJet to pursue new opportunities. I will be with the company until January 24th. This is a difficult decision given my passion and dedication to the work.
WestJet has been an incredible professional experience for which I am deeply grateful for. In the GR/PR space I am not sure there could be a more challenging and fulfilling experience.
Being an ambassador for our employees, partners and communities who rely us has been a privilege. Whether is was the dark days of Covid-19 or rolling out our growth strategy in key markets or promoting WestJet and Canada globally it has been one incredible ride.
I have worked with the best people across Canada through thick and thin and am so lucky to have been able to cultivate a national network of friends and associates.
From policy advocacy to partnership development to managing crises it has been an incredible ride. I’m grateful to have been able to do this work for so long and with such great colleagues, stakeholders, friends and partners.
Nova Scotians are thrilled with the return of Paris/Halifax and the introduction of Sydney/Calgary for the first time. Thank you to our partners for a great event this morning in beautiful Halifax!
Thank you @FureyAndrew @stjohnsairport and all of our incredible partners for a historic announcement yesterday. westjet.mediaroom.com/2024-1…
Excited to take on this challenge at such an important juncture for Canada’s airlines!
Congratulations to @WestJet's very own @gibbonsandy, Vice-President, External Affairs for his appointment to Chair of the @NACC_CNLA Board of Directors. Learn more: ms.spr.ly/6019Wcn7z

It’s your Captain T-shirt guy speaking! Thanks @westjet for the great flight from Edm to Fla to bring home the CUP! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to do this on a plane!
Let’s Go OILERS! @edmontonoilers It’s getting hot out here!
NO HOLDING BACK.
🧡💙✈️🔥
Has anyone explained why @lweagle19 @JoCourtney89 are not being honoured?this feels like a big oversight. They are champions and Ottawa builders. I hope the mayor honours them equally soon.
I’m excited to celebrate @TeamHoman tonight as they receive the Key to the City – our highest honour. Rachel @RHoman89, @tracyfleury_ , @emmamiskew, @sarahhwilkes - your outstanding achievements have made you one of the most successful curling teams in Canadian history. Welcome home Rachel and Team Homan. @CurlingCanada
Je suis ravi de célébrer l'équipe Homan ce soir, alors qu'elle reçoit la clé de la ville, notre plus haute distinction. Rachel, Tracy, Emma, Sarah - vos réalisations exceptionnelles ont fait de vous l'une des équipes de curling les plus performantes de l'histoire du Canada. Bienvenue à Rachel et à l'équipe Homan.

A decade of @WestJet investment celebrated in Dublin last night. Direct flights from @HfxStanfield @FlyYYC @TorontoPearson are connecting our countries in new ways.
Thank you @canadaireland @NancySmyth_ @DublinAirport and all of our great partners!
En route to @FlyYEG with @AHoensbroech for a couple of days of engagement with our partners and a keynote address tomorrow at @EdmontonChamber
Perfect place to kick off tourism week with @ABTourismVoice townhall in Calgary at @HeritageParkYYC. Thank you to our incredible partners and for all we have achieved together for Calgary, Alberta and Canada.
Wonderful to spend time with @premierbhiggs and Minister Turner today as we announced new direct flights between calgary and the NB capital. Thank you for a great visit and warm welcome! Our growth strategy is coming to life in all parts of Canada!

Seven leap years ago, starting a low-cost airline was a wild idea, but it was one @WestJet co-founder Clive Beddoe believed in. Read how this scrappy airline start-up democratized air travel in Canada and slashed airfares in half: ms.spr.ly/6019cVBf1
Have you had a great travel experience recently or received good value with airfares down? @ctvnews is not looking to hear from you.
Have you had a recent travel horror story? We want to hear from you ctvnews.ca/canada/have-you-h…
Great evening in DC promoting Alberta. WestJet is how Americans explore Alberta and how Albertans explore America. Thanks to @cabc_co for partnering on this event.
America does not need to purchase energy from nations they are in conflict with when their best friends are right next door… There is so much more Canada 🇨🇦 and the United States 🇺🇸 can do together!
I was honoured to meet with Senator Chris Coons, Senator Kevin Cramer, Representative Michael Waltz, along with business leaders from both nations, to highlight the incredible opportunities and partnerships available in Alberta.

Alongside a coalition of partners, @WestJet is calling for Canada’s own incentive program and policy regime for sustainable aviation fuels. SAF is the most effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of air travel and we endorse the recommendations put forward by @csafincanada
Thank you SK CPC caucus for a warm welcome. YQR and YXE are key markets for our growth strategy! Saskatchewan has had a great summer of connectivity, affordability and growth from @WestJet
This morning Saskatchewan's @CPC_HQ MPs were happy to welcome @WestJet Vice President @gibbonsandy to our caucus meeting to discuss ongoing issues and challenges facing the air travel sector. Thanks for the visit, Andy! #cdnpoli
