WestJet, Canada's second-largest airline, has announced a new interline agreement with Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) to enhance connectivity on transatlantic routes. The partnership will begin at the end of this month and aims to benefit passengers traveling across the North Atlantic.

Currently, WestJet operates a limited transatlantic network using Boeing 737 MAX and 787 family aircraft. However, this new agreement with SAS will offer passengers more options for travel to Nordic nations. Tickets for these expanded routes will be available starting June 26th, 2025.

The deal was "ratified by WestJet and SAS executives at the IATA AGM in Delhi, India." Both airlines are planning further collaboration, including potential codeshare agreements in the coming months. Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS, stated: "This partnership lays the foundation for a long-term collaboration that will benefit travelers on both sides of the Atlantic."

A significant feature of this agreement is access to SAS's route between Toronto Pearson International Airport and Copenhagen Kastrup. This allows WestJet passengers to reach nearly 30 destinations in Scandinavia such as "Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Luleå, and Malmö."

The partnership enables convenient single-ticket itineraries for WestJet customers from various Canadian cities through Toronto. Similarly, it provides European travelers flying with SAS easier connections to Canadian cities like Calgary and Vancouver.

SAS passengers can expect "convenient one-ticket travel" to several Canadian destinations as part of this deal.

Data from Cirium shows that both airlines have comparable transatlantic frequencies. While WestJet primarily uses narrowbody aircraft like the Boeing 737 MAX 8 on these routes, SAS prefers widebody planes such as the Airbus A330-300 and A350-900.
