We are grateful to our charitable partner LiveDifferent for providing this opportunity to serve in the Dominican Republic. Throughout the ten-day humanitarian trip, WestJetters and Sunwing team members worked alongside LiveDifferent staff, volunteers, community members, and family members. Together we built four new homes, and made impactful connections to last a lifetime. In addition, participants over fundraised close to $20,000 to go towards community infrastructure projects, plus LiveDifferent’s Community Development and Emergency Relief Fund. Since 2012, more than 600 WestJet Group employees have participated in the program and helped build 61 houses to lift up families and local communities. Thank you to all who participated in making this year's build a success.
The 12th annual WestJet Build in the Dominican Republic has come to an end, but the impact will last for generations. Last week, 50 passionate WestJetters and Sunwing employees worked side by side to build four new homes with families who needed them most. From learning about the community to celebrating the completion of these beautiful houses, this Build was a journey of growth, connection, and compassion. 🏠 Thank you to the families for welcoming us into their world, and to WestJet for making these life-changing experiences possible. 🛫 💙 #WestJetBuild #LiveDifferent #CommunityImpact #BuildingHope #HomesAndHearts #HumanitarianBuilds #Whereyourstorytakesoff

Thank you for sharing this moment and your thoughts from this experience, Melanie Coulson.
Watch WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech introduce himself to us, tell us why he’s travelling to Ottawa to talk to Parliament about air travel, and invite us to find him in the 13th row of the aircraft to share our thoughts with him as passengers on this RED EYE flight to Ottawa. After this welcome, von Hoensbroech took a couple of quick pics with ground crew and attendants. This genuine, friendly and accessible behaviour from a CEO is right on brand for an airline that is marketing itself as the friendlier choice for travellers. It comes from the very top. (To note: I got a ‘how was your in-flight service?’ Email survey three mins after we landed 20 mins early in Ottawa.) #leadership #marketing #branding #airtravel #cdnpoli #aviationdayCanada
