With the airline now the proud owners of five Boeing 787 planes and what will be several years of recovery to reach to pre-Coronavirus travel levels - the 30+ year old 767s will most likely not be required by the airline.
The Westjet 763s have been parked and it is very well possible that they will not be returning to Westjet service (even though they are still scheduled for some flights this summer), but their age is a bit misstated: they are 25.5-28.5 years old.
