The Canadian Lung Association reveals that Air Canada and WestJet have been urged to prohibit pets from aircraft cabins, after a ruling Thursday.

The airlines are not forced to change their policy from the Canadian Transportation Agency's decision. But, it is better to think over it.

This Christmas season, budget carrier WestJet managed to get much more loaded in terms of travelers as compared to prior seasons, as has been confirmed by official figures.

More than a month of tacking several issues which have come up as a result of the carrier's switchover to a whole new reservation system will, it seems, definitely affect WestJet's fourth quarter earnings, a fear which has been shared by airline as well.
