WestJet has announced an interline partnership agreement with SAS to optimise connectivity across the Atlantic and Nordic countries.
The agreement enables several new benefits for travellers, such as connections for WestJet through SAS’s non-stop service between Toronto Pearson and Copenhagen, and through London Heathrow, Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam, and Reykjavik. WestJet passengers will also gain access to 29 SAS destinations.
“We’re pleased to welcome SAS as our latest interline partner, creating new two-way travel opportunities between Canada and key destinations across Northern Europe,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “This partnership not only enhances connectivity for WestJet guests heading to Scandinavia but also opens up smoother access for Nordic travellers looking to experience the best of Canada through our growing domestic network.”
The two airlines have intentions to form a codeshare partnership in the coming months.
“This partnership lays the foundation for a long-term collaboration that will benefit travellers on both sides of the Atlantic,” commented Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS. “Together with WestJet, we’re not only connecting Scandinavia with more destinations across Canada — we’re also opening up new ways to reach Europe from key Canadian cities. And with our planned codeshare, even more seamless options are just around the corner.”
