WestJet (WS, Calgary) plans to develop a 6,782-square-metre (73,000-square-foot) aircraft maintenance hangar at the new AirLink Business Park, located on the western side of Winnipeg International, becoming the development's first anchor tenant. The facility, which will occupy more than nine acres (3.6 hectares), will accommodate two aircraft simultaneously and is being designed to handle the B737-10, for which WestJet is expected to be the global launch customer. Targeted for completion in late 2028, the hangar will support the basing of up to 42 narrowbody aircraft at Winnipeg.

The project remains subject to final approval by WestJet's board, as well as regulatory and permit requirements. The first phase of AirLink Business Park is backed by CAD32 million Canadian dollars (USD23 million) in combined investments from Winnipeg Airports Authority and the federal and provincial governments.
