Briefing
WestJet’s amendment is a concrete, numerical change to its Boeing orderbook: six 737‑10s were converted into two 787‑9s, directly shifting its narrowbody vs. widebody commitments and delivery slate.
The move increases near‑term demand for 787‑9s and aligns with recent widebody purchases and fleet‑renewal trends, including large 787 placements in Southeast Asia ([source:8577bb17-2ab1-4ad2-a52d-226cd1927a55]), EVA Air’s 787‑9 approvals ([source:007b81a5-c42e-4b1a-b368-51612e014bf5]) and U.S. DOT data showing carriers replacing older widebodies with 787/A350 types ([source:697af133-b835-45d4-8f23-5e76a23187a9]).
