WestJet is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

It officially opened for business February 5, 1996 but the Calgary-based carrier didn’t make its first flight until February 29th.

Over the past 20 years WestJet has expanded its destination market.

It provides scheduled and charter air service to 100 destinations in Canada, the United States, Europe, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

WestJet employs 10 thousand people.

Last year, WestJet held a one-day seat sale to celebrate its 19th anniversary, but WestJet says at least for now, nothing is planned to make this milestone.
