The group's 'Who we are' page describes it as the parent company of WestJet Airlines, WestJet Encore and Sunwing Vacations Group. WestJet bought Sunwing in 2023 and, per its 2025 announcement, has since unified all narrowbody operations under WestJet Airlines; Swoop was absorbed into WestJet in October 2023.
