WestJet says it will begin providing refunds to passengers whose flights were cancelled due to the pandemic. We have already refunded over $1.2 billion in refundable fares to date," Air Canada wrote on Twitter on Wednesday evening. In June, both Air Canada and WestJet began offering refunds to some passengers whose flights originated outside of Canada. WestJet offered refunds on flights originating from or landing in the U.S. or U.K., and Air Canada offered refunds to those whose flights originated in the EU — but not in Canada. Up until now, most Canadian airlines have offered travel vouchers to passengers with cancelled flights.
