Pardon?

Its the inaugural flight to Hawaii for THEIR OWN 767's. This is the first time they've flown 767's to HI (they've flown 737's for years), but they wet leased some 767's earlier this year for the route.

WestJet has been flying its own metal to Hawaii for years.

Using their first B763 would be more accurate, WS has used their own metal to Hawaii for years!

It appears C-FOGJ will be continuing the flight to OGG.

And now, flightradar24 shows C-FOGJ is taxiing at YYC as WS1884 to OGG. So, it looks like a change of metal, and then getting underway again.

Or (I assume) the first WS flight from YEG to Hawaii using their own metal? WS did operate the 737-700 YYC-HNL for a year or two but it had payload penalties and wasn't economic so they then began wet-leasing 757s from Thomas Cook for the seasonal YYC/YEG-Hawaii routes. Not sure if they operated the 737-700 nonstop YEG-HNL.

I believe they did operate from YEG to Hawaii with the 737s the same year. Only operated one winter sked and then the wet lease started the following year with North American. The 5 year contract started with Thomas Cook the following year.

Thank you, I am well aware of this, having used WS' product many times. It was not clear the OP understood the distinction, but all is well now.

RE: WestJet Flight 1884 Diverts To Calgary
Is anyone besides me wondering why the plane diverted or is everyone mainly here so they can display their impressive WestJet knowledge and correct the OP's obvious mistake?

Some brief searching around on twitter didn't come up with much. One person said mechanical, and another said the particular plane wasn't properly ETOPS certified, and so was turned back. So for now, there's nothing but rumours and hearsay.

Maintenance issue, the aircraft are certified for ETOPs....
RE: WestJet Flight 1884 Diverts To Calgary
Gotta be frustrating for WS! First the delay in getting the planes registered in Canada due to some improper/incomplete paperwork from Qantas (the original owners), then having to temporarily lease lift from OMNI, as ETOPS certification wasn't ready when the flights were to be on the new metal....now a MX issue on the inaugural YEG flight.
UGH! Thinking back to 1996, when WS started with 732's, it seems like a bit of deja vu! If i remember correctly, they had headaches on the (sometimes VERY) used equipment.... and if I remember, a temporary grounding!
Luckily, that came to pass, as I am sure the hiccups with the 763's will also. I do hope I have an opportunity to fly on the WS 763's at some point!

From another forum....
"Diverted due to an indicator light relating to heat in the flight deck."
C-GOGN is currently operating WS1850 YYC-OGG, so must have been an easy fix.

At the time of the grounding which lasted for about 2 weeks in September 1996 the entire WS fleet was 4 737-200s, all between 24 and 27 years old. Three were original Pacific Western aircraft, disposed of by PWA years earlier. A couple had already had about 8 operators.

The aircraft would not have departed if it was not ETOPS certified. Don't be crazy.
There is a big difference between being certified, and compliant. There are many failure/degrades that could occur prior to reaching the ETOPS boundary that would prevent the flight from continuing.
You need normal hydraulics, electrics, de/anti-icing. You can have degraded comms, nav, but to a point. There's quite a few things you can have go u/s.
You could also have a situation where you depart and despite the aircraft being okay going, the failure may prevent dispatching out of the out-station. Ie: no parts, minimal maintenance. This cud have been the case and they decided to pop into YYC where they had parts etc to allow it to come home once it got to where it was going.
To suggest it was not ETOPS certified is silly.

RE: WestJet Flight 1884 Diverts To Calgary
Well what did they expect? QF got rid of them for a reason.
These are old planes. To think they can run like a swiss watch is unrealistic.

It's happened before. Obviously not likely with the very small WS 763 fleet.

WestJet's status as a low-cost airline may soon change now that they've abandoned their one-type strategy. Adding their Encore/Dash subsidiary and now expecting heavy overseas utilization of a rather old fleet of '67s certainly hasn't simplified their operation.
The nice thing about a mistake is the pleasure it gives others.

Today the same flight operated again by a 738 diverted to YVR.
