WestJet Redesigns Aircraft, Removes Reclining from Economy Seats
Canadian airline WestJet is reconfiguring its fleet of newly acquired aircraft, removing the recline function from standard economy seats.
The redesign affects 43 aircraft, including Boeing 737-8 MAX and 737-800, which account for less than a third of WestJet's narrowbody fleet.
Passengers will soon have to pay for the ability to recline certain seats aboard a fleet of newly redesigned aircraft.
- The redesign was first announced last month.
- The affected aircraft were acquired from defunct airlines Swoop, Lynx, and Sunwing.
- Standard economy seats will now have a "fixed recline."
