CALGARY — WestJet and Fiji Airways, already connected via an interline agreement, are taking their partnership to the next level with a new codeshare deal.

The agreement allows guests to travel across both airlines’ networks under a single booking with improved access to destinations across Canada, Fiji and beyond.

The partnership also supports Fiji Airways’ growing North American presence, alongside expanded services to Vancouver, further strengthening links between Canada, Fiji and the wider Pacific.

In March 2026 WestJet got the green light from the Canadian Transportation Agency for scheduled international licenses to operate, on a codeshare basis, flights to Fiji and New Zealand.

GROWING DEMAND

WestJet says demand in the Canadian market for access to Pacific destinations continues to grow, with passenger traffic between Canada and Fiji increasing by 19% year-on-year. A significant portion of passengers travelling on the route connect from Vancouver to Fiji Airways’ broader network including Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Fiji Airways will place its FJ code on WestJet’s domestic network including Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Halifax, providing convenient connections from key Canadian cities to Fiji Airways international services via its North American gateways.

WestJet will place its WS code on Fiji’s Vancouver to Nadi flights and through to destinations across New Zealand including Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington, allowing WestJet guests to access to Fiji Airways South Pacific network.

This collaboration is further supported by Fiji Airways’ expanded Vancouver operations, reinforcing the route’s importance within its international network.

Starting June 18, Fiji Airways will operate three weekly services year-round between Nadi and Vancouver on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The route will also see the introduction of the Airbus A350 on all Vancouver services from Sept. 8.

“By deepening ties between WestJet’s North American network and Fiji Airways’ world-class service to the South Pacific, we are making it easier for our shared guests to reach the destinations that matter most to them,” said John Weatherill, EVP and CCO, WestJet Group.

Paul Scurrah, Managing Director and CEO of Fiji Airways, added: “Canada represents a growing and high-value market for Fiji and the wider Pacific. This partnership with WestJet makes it easier than ever for Canadian travellers to experience the warmth, culture and natural beauty of Fiji, while also supporting increased visitor flows into our region.”

With the codeshare comes the benefits of a single check-in experience and through checked baggage to their destination. Travellers can also earn and redeem WestJet points on their entire itinerary.
