WestJet has taken a significant step toward strengthening its transatlantic network by announcing a major expansion of its codeshare agreements with European carriers Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. This enhancement will allow Canadian travelers to access 59 destinations in Europe this summer with a streamlined and more connected experience, all through a single booking.

Seamless and Direct Connections

Thanks to these expanded agreements, passengers flying with WestJet can now connect through Amsterdam-Schiphol and Paris-Charles de Gaulle international airports to a wide range of European cities without the need for multiple tickets or complicated baggage transfers. The entire journey—including connecting flights operated by Air France or KLM—can be managed under a single reservation, with WestJet Rewards points accumulated from start to finish.

Jared Mikoch-Gerke, WestJet’s Director of Airport Affairs and Alliances, emphasized: “As part of our commitment to taking Canadians where they want to travel, these expanded partnerships provide our guests with more options to explore 59 coveted European destinations this summer.”
