Clive Beddoe, co-founder of WestJet, has handed the reins of the company over to Sean Durfy.

Beddoe isn't leaving the company, but sees value in bringing new energy and youthfulness into the role of President.

"I am not leaving the company, I'm not going, I am very much involved and will remain actively involved," Beddoe said at a press conference Thursday morning.

"There's no reason for anybody in the company or our shareholders to be concerned that in any respect that I am leaving."
