Application of

WESTJET for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and a foreign air carrier permit pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41301 (U.S. – Canada) Docket DOT-OST-2001-11158

SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO APPLICATIO N OF WESTJET FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AUTHORITY AND A FO REIGN AIR CARRIER PERMIT By application dated December 2, 2011, WestJe t requested renewal of its exemption authority to provide scheduled and charter foreign air transpor tation of persons, property and mail from points behind Canada via Canada and in termediate points to a poi nt or points in the United States and beyond. WestJet further requested issuance of a foreign air carrier permit to enable WestJet to engage in the same fore ign air transportation described above. This supplement provides additional information regard ing the ownership and control of WestJet. In support of this application, WestJet states as follows: 1. WestJet is an Alberta partnership comp rised of WestJet Investment Corp. and WestJet Operations Corp., both of which are whol ly owned by WestJet Airlines Ltd., a Canadian holding company. The Canada Transportation Act requires that WestJet Aircraft Ltd., as a corporation that indirectly wholly-owns th e holder of a domestic license, a scheduled international license, and a non-scheduled internat ional license, i.e. West Jet, be a Canadian2 citizen. Specifically, WestJet Airc raft Ltd. must be controlled in fact by Canadians, and at least 75 percent of its voting interests must be owned and controlled by Canadians. 2. To ensure compliance with the Canada Transportation Act , WestJet Aircraft Ltd.'s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, restrict subscriptions, issues, transfers, or purchases of Common Voting Shares. Co mmon Voting Shares may only be beneficially owned and controlled, directly or indirec tly, by Canadians. A ny Common Voting Share beneficially owned or controlled directly or indir ectly by a person who is not a Canadian is automatically converted to a Variable Voting Share. Variable Voti ng Shares may only be beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirec tly, by non-Canadians. Any Va riable Voting Share owned or controlled by a person who is Canadian is automa tically converted to a Common Voting Share. 3. Variable Voting Shares entitle the holder thereof to one vote per share unless the number of Variable Voting Shares outstanding as a percentage of the total number of votes exceeds 25%, in which case the vote attached to each Variable Voting Share will decrease so that the Variable Voting Shares as a class will have a maximum of 25% of the aggregate vote. Accordingly, the Variable Voting Shares as a cl ass cannot carry more than 25% of the aggregate of the voting rights attached to al l issued and outstanding shares. 4. As of January 31, 2012, the total numbe r of Voting Shares outstanding was 138,286,603, of which the Common Voting Shares outstanding were 131,252, 093 (94.91%) and the Variable Voting Shares outstanding were 7,034,510 (5.09%). Based on this data, WestJet Aircraft Ltd., and thus WestJet, clearly complies with the requirement that it be substantially owned and effectively controll ed by Canadian citizens.3 ACCORDINGLY, WestJet respectfully request s that the Department renew WestJet’s existing exemption authority and grant a foreign ai r carrier permit as set forth more fully in its December 2, 2011 application.

Respectfully submitted,

Don H. Hainbach Jason E. Maddux Counsel for WestJet
