WestJet Airlines (Calgary) has introduced a new pricing structure that reduces the volatility that has been present in the airline industry by providing lower fares across their entire schedule (330 days ahead of departure). Guests can purchase with confidence when they’re ready to book rather than have to wait for a seat sale to get a low price.
In addition, WestJet has taken the extraordinary step of reducing its full price fares by an average of 25 per cent for all flights across its entire 68-city North American and Caribbean network.
Will this idea catch on with other airlines?

Sunquest Vacations announced today (March 31) that it has organized replacement flights for all of its customers who might otherwise have been affected by the suspension of operations by Skyservice Airlines (Toronto). Skyservice was placed into receivership by the Ontario Court earlier today.
Skyservice was an independent supplier to Sunquest, which is part ofย Thomas Cookย Group plc, one of the world’s leading travel groups. Since 1995, Skyservice has operated aircraft for Sunquest and other tour operators betweenย Canadaย and destinations in the Caribbean andย Mexico. The only Sunquest flights affected by the Skyservice shut-down originate inย Torontoย orย Winnipeg, and represent less than a third of the remaining flights for Sunquest’s winter program which endsย April 30, 2010. No flights were scheduled for today and replacement flights for the coming days have been arranged with other carriers, principally Air Transat and Enerjet.
Seventy percent of Sunquest’s remaining April winter flights are not affected and none of its customers on flights afterย May 1, 2010ย are affected.
