I got a @JetTip alert that WestJet is flying a 737-700 to Portland #PDX/#KPDX Tuesday from its Calgary #YYC/#CYYC hub. That's a step up from the current seasonal "Dash 8" DHC8 WestJet Encore service. I don't see news about a route upgrade. The flight numbers 1500/1505 don't look like a charter. With Alaska's recent shift of some connections from SEA to its secondary hub at PDX, it's plausible WS could add capacity. Anyone know more? flightaware.com/live/flight/WJ #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

Track WestJet (WS) #1500 flight

Planespotting at Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX this evening: still photos of IcelandAir 757-200 "Hekla Aurora" arriving from Reykjavik / Keflavik Int'l Airport #KEF / #BIKF. This one-of-a-kind livery depicting the Aurora Borealis above Icelandic volcano Hekla has been an avgeek favorite for 10 years. The plane will be retired soon - rumors say October. #aviation #travel #avgeek
