WestJet optimistic about future, doesn't rule out Vancouver to Asia flights: CEO

There is not much standing in the way of WestJet one day offering direct service to Asia from B.C., but it will have to be a carefully planned chapter if it is to become part of WestJet’s “great Canadian success story.” Prior to celebrating the airline’s 20th anniversary on Monday, WestJet CEO Gregg Saretsky sat down with Postmedia on Thursday to discuss a range of topics relating to air travel and where the airline might go — literally and figuratively — in the next two decades.
