Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach, including investment in infrastructure, staff training, and improved communication systems.

Passenger Reactions and Industry Implications

Passengers affected by these disruptions have expressed frustration over the lack of timely information and assistance. The airline industry, already under scrutiny for previous operational challenges, may face increased regulatory oversight if such issues persist. Experts suggest that airlines must prioritize operational reliability to maintain customer trust and comply with industry standards.

To mitigate future disruptions, WestJet is encouraged to:

• 加强沟通: Providing real-time updates to passengers can alleviate uncertainty during delays and cancellations.
• 投资技术: Implementing advanced scheduling and maintenance systems can reduce technical disruptions.
• Increase Staffing: Ensuring adequate crew availability, especially during peak periods, can prevent delays at busy airports like Toronto and Calgary.
