WestJet has returned six of its 17 damaged planes to service after last month’s hailstorm in Calgary grounded aircraft and forced hundreds of flight cancellations.
A severe hailstorm struck southern Alberta Aug. 5, resulting in severe flight disruptions after WestJet’s fleet was damaged. Restoration work is still underway a month later, according to a WestJet spokesperson. The affected planes represent more than 10 percent of the airline’s fleet.
