CALGARY, April 21 /CNW/ - WestJet today announced it will fly 51,611 guests today, setting a new single-day record for the airline. The previous record of 50,336 guests was set on December 23, 2010.

"We thank our guests for choosing us time and time again, which has helped us to achieve this milestone," said Bob Cummings, Executive Vice-President, Sales, Marketing and Guest Experience. "We are proud of this milestone for a number of reasons, but especially because we achieved it while continuing to nurture our brand, employee and financial health.
