C-GWSP
C-GWSP performed its first flight on November 13, 2009. The Boeing 737-7CT was delivered to WestJet on December 2, 2009. This is one of 52 B737 models in the main fleet of this Canadian airline with the newest delivered in May, 2011.
This Boeing 737-700 is configured for a maximum total of 130 passengers. There are 12 seats in premium economy and 118 economy class seats.
On November 4, 2014, C-GWSP was performing a flight from Calgary, Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia. At the start of the descent into YVR, the aircraft encountered heavy turbulence. As a result, a flight attendant received injuries severe enough to make that person unable to continue duties.
