Key Takeaways:

WestJet this week unveiled a new aircraft livery celebrating Canada’s only MLB team.

The design, applied to a Boeing 737 MAX 8, combines the clean white of WestJet’s standard livery with the royal blue of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays’ logo appears on the airplane’s vertical stabilizer.

WestJet showed off the paint job at a ceremony at its hangar at Toronto Pearson on Tuesday. Officials said the livery was commissioned following the renewal of the airline’s commercial partnership with the Blue Jays, which has been in place since 2012.

“Our renewed partnership with the Toronto Blue Jays represents a shared commitment to bringing Canadians closer together through meaningful, memorable moments,” WestJet Group Executive Vice President and Chief Experience Officer Samantha Taylor said in a news release.

The 737 MAX reentered service on Wednesday with a flight from Toronto Pearson. The carrier did not specify which routes the aircraft will fly.
