We are aware of the CrowdStrike IT outage, impacting Microsoft products and services, and our IT team continues to monitor the evolving situation closely. At this time, there has been no direct impact to WestJet’s IT systems or operations and any flight cancellations across our network are unrelated to the CrowdStrike outage.
We are expecting there may be some delays across our network as we operate to and from airports that have been affected. Additionally, guests travelling via WestJet’s network and connecting onwards with an alternative airline may be impacted.
For these reasons, guests with imminent travel plans are advised to check the status of their flight prior to leaving for the airport.
