We do not choose the biggest planes because the cost of production and operational costs are higher.

The cost of fuel, labour, and maintenance for bigger planes will be too much considering the number of passengers remains constant.

Bigger planes cost more to maintain. Since WestJet does not fly international flights, will people be willing to pay extra for leg room?

Bigger planes means more costs and maintenance, bigger damage to environment, need of a larger storage space leading to increased price.

The cost to operate a bigger plane is substantially larger than a smaller plane in terms of fuel costs and maintenance.

Bigger planes = Heavier –> Weight.–> but passenger demand wouldn’t flucate too much.
= More labour cost due to more flight attendance. -

Costs of fueling bigger planes is much greater than fueling the smaller ones. Also there’s usually enough space on the current planes.

Easier to fill small plane = max seating. Smaller plane = lower cost/flight than bigger plane.Max seating + lower costs = efficient profits.

given that the number of customers stay the same, the bigger the plan the higher the cost. this lowers the profit of the company

Also, it is more cost effective to fly a greater number of mid-sized planes to a variety of locations, rather than to fly few big planes
