HISTORY ASPECTS:
The WestJet SF-340, registered as C-GOIA, played a crucial role during the early days of WestJet’s history. WestJet, founded in 1996, initially aimed to serve smaller Canadian cities and was known for its innovative low-cost business model. The SF-340, or Saab 340, is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft designed for short-haul regional routes, offering versatility and reliability. The aircraft became an integral part of WestJet’s regional expansion, enabling the airline to extend its service to more remote locations across Western Canada.
The Saab 340’s design, with its efficient fuel consumption and capacity to carry up to 34 passengers, made it an ideal choice for serving smaller airports with shorter runways. The aircraft helped WestJet establish a strong presence in regional markets, connecting major cities like Calgary and Vancouver with smaller communities. The use of the SF-340 allowed WestJet to maintain high frequencies on these routes while keeping operational costs low, helping the airline solidify its reputation for affordable air travel.
Though WestJet eventually moved on to focus on larger jets for its expanding network, the Saab 340 and C-GOIA specifically remain an important part of the airline's early legacy. These regional flights laid the groundwork for WestJet's growth into one of Canada's largest airlines. Today, C-GOIA is remembered fondly as part of WestJet’s early fleet, representing the airline’s commitment to expanding air travel accessibility throughout Canada’s vast regions.
This 1:200 scale model, registration C-GOIA, is an excellent addition for collectors and aviation enthusiasts. It faithfully captures the aircraft's iconic design and distinctive WestJet livery from the early days of the airline's operations. A must-have for those who admire the history of Canadian aviation and WestJet's pioneering regional services.
