WestJet Expands SAS Codeshare; More Direct Options from Atlantic Canada
It’s the second time in three months the airlines have expanded their codeshare which benefits travellers with a single ticket, baggage transfers and the ability to earn WestJet Rewards
WestJet guests can now book travel to Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland via the airline’s non-stop service between Halifax and Copenhagen thanks to an expanded codeshare partnership with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS).
It’s the second time in three months the airlines have expanded their codeshare which benefits travellers with a single ticket, baggage transfers and the ability to earn WestJet Rewards. SAS has also placed its SK code on WestJet’s seasonal nonstop service between Halifax and Copenhagen, allowing guests across Scandinavia and throughout SAS’ comprehensive network to connect to Halifax and Atlantic Canada.
“This partnership enhancement strengthens WestJet and SAS’ joint effort to strategically connect our networks and make travel planning easy for our shared guests,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “Whether they are travelling for business or leisure, adding new codeshare connections with our five-star APEX awarded partner, SAS, via our all-new service between Halifax and Copenhagen provides even more choice for Europeans and Canadians alike.”
WestJet’s service between Copenhagen and Halifax operates four days per week during the summer months and complements WestJet’s ongoing codeshare connections to Scandinavia:
- Stockholm, Sweden
- Goteborg, Sweden
- Oslo, Norway
- Bergen, Norway
- Stavanger, Norway
- Trondheim, Norway
- Aalborg, Denmark
- Helsinki, Finland
The airline currently offers codeshare access beyond WestJet’s transatlantic flights between Calgary and Paris, and Calgary and London, as previously announced last year.
