CALGARY — WestJet’s new reciprocal codeshare partnership with SAS gives travellers on both sides of the Atlantic enhanced access to a broader network of destinations.
Starting today, passengers travelling from YYC on WestJet’s nonstop transatlantic flights to Paris and London Heathrow, can easily connect to some of SAS’ most popular destinations for a journey booked on one ticket. Passengers also benefit from a seamless single connection, baggage transfers and the ability to earn WestJet Rewards on any WestJet marketed itinerary with SAS.
“Deepening our commercial connection with SAS means more seamless connections for guests on both sides of the ocean. With more Canadians wanting to explore Northern Europe, we are proud to help them get there with ease, so they can focus on the destination,” said John Weatherill, WestJet EVP and Chief Commercial Officer.
Paul Verhagen, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at SAS, said: “The expanded codeshare partnership with WestJet is an important step in connecting Scandinavia even more closely with Canada. It strengthens our main base in Copenhagen and gives travelers on both sides of the Atlantic more options and a smoother overall journey. This agreement broadens our joint offering and creates new opportunities for customers across our combined networks.”
WestJet passengers can now get streamlined access to Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm on a year-round basis via WestJet’s nonstop Calgary-Paris and Calgary-Heathrow offerings.
In 2026, WestJet guests will get connectivity to these destinations from other transatlantic cities including Edinburgh, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome and Keflavik, allowing one-stop connectivity from WestJet’s other Canadian gateways to Europe.
WestJet’s code will also be placed on SAS’ year-round direct service between Toronto and Copenhagen.
The partnership expansion also opens options for Europe-based passengers looking to access the best of Canada via YYZ as well as via SAS’ U.S. gateways including Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington-D.C., New York JFK and Boston.
SAS code will be placed on WestJet operated flights beyond their Copenhagen-Toronto service and U.S. gateways to more than 10 Canadian destinations from coast-to-coast-to-coast including Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Halifax and more.
Last month WestJet announced seasonal nonstop four-time weekly service between Halifax and Copenhagen, connecting the two cities for the first time beginning in May 2026.
