WestJet president Sean Durfy commented that, "2007 is off to a great start with 20 % year-to-date ASM growth and record load factors for January and February. Our seasonal deployment of aircraft to WestJet sun spots, our growing network connectivity and our WestJetters' continued focus on delivering exceptional guest service are key factors in our terrific performance.
"It is shaping up to be great first quarter," said Durfy.
