HISTORY ASPECTS:
WestJet's Q400, registration C-FOEN, has played a significant role in the airline's regional operations since it entered service. The Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, a versatile and reliable turboprop aircraft, was chosen by WestJet for its efficiency in short-haul routes across Canada. The Q400's ability to operate in a variety of weather conditions and from regional airports with shorter runways made it the perfect addition to the airline’s fleet. C-FOEN has been used extensively to connect smaller communities to major hubs, facilitating both passenger travel and cargo transport across Canada’s vast landscape.
The aircraft’s operations extend beyond just passenger transport. WestJet’s Q400 fleet, including C-FOEN, has been integral in serving the airline’s expanding network, especially in regions with limited air travel infrastructure. With its high fuel efficiency and lower operating costs compared to larger jetliners, the Q400 was a strategic choice for WestJet’s goal of offering more affordable travel options on domestic routes. C-FOEN has helped serve key routes such as those between major Canadian cities like Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton, while also reaching remote communities in the Canadian north.
Throughout its service, C-FOEN has become a recognizable aircraft within WestJet’s fleet, known for its distinctive livery and role in expanding the airline’s reach. WestJet's commitment to offering affordable and reliable regional air service has been supported by the Dash 8 Q400, with C-FOEN often being seen as a symbol of this commitment. The aircraft’s combination of speed, comfort, and operational flexibility has made it a favorite among passengers flying on regional routes, with many travelers appreciating its smooth ride and quick turnarounds.
This 1:400 scale model captures all the sleek details of this efficient turboprop aircraft. From its distinctive nose to the sleek wing design and vibrant livery, this replica is a must-have for aviation collectors. Whether you're a fan of regional airliners or a dedicated WestJet supporter, this model represents an iconic part of the airline's fleet and is a stunning addition to any collection.
