WestJet is expected to announce Monday that it is setting up a call centre in Moncton.

Radio Canada has confirmed Premier Brian Gallant will attend an announcement at the Greater Moncton International Airport at 2 p.m.

A media advisory on the government's web page said Gallant will participate in an economic development announcement in the airport's international lounge.

The call centre is expected to create several hundred jobs.

WestJet did not comment on the announcement.
