WESTJET ANNOUNCES NAME OF NEW REGIONAL AIRLINE
!!!WESTJET ANNOUNCES NAME OF NEW REGIONAL AIRLINE
Following a vote by WestJetters, WestJet has announced that the name of its new regional airline will be WestJet Encore.

The regional airline will launch in the second half of 2013, using Bombardier Q400 aircraft to serve smaller Canadian communities.

"We are excited to launch WestJet Encore, leveraging the phenomenal strength of the WestJet brand delivered through our WestJetters," said Bob Cummings, WestJet executive vice president, sales, marketing and guest experience. "Encore reinforces that our WestJetters are ready to repeat the success of WestJet, liberating Canadians in many communities from the high cost of travel."

WestJet will announce a schedule for WestJet Encore, including the first group of communities it will serve, in early 2013.

Well the name sounds great BUT as you may not know it is the same as Holiday House/Thomas Cook's cruise booking tool. Encore Cruises. For travel agents we will have to be careful to explain which Encore we mean when we talk to clients.
