WestJet and American Airlines announce commercial agreement

WestJet and American Airlines Announce Commercial Agreement

Agreement is WestJet's First Interline Agreement With a U.S. Airline Opens Up Travel to More Cities in Canada for American's Customers

October 19, 2010


WestJet and American Airlines announced today they have entered into an interline agreement. The interline agreement means American Airlines customers travelling to Canada and transferring to a WestJet flight can purchase a single ticket and check bags through to their final destination.

The agreement provides American's customers seamless connecting service to 25 new Canadian cities not currently served by American or American Eagle. WestJet serves a total of 31 Canadian cities and 71 destinations in 13 countries.

The connections will first be available through the six gateways in Canada currently served by American or American Eagle - Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Halifax and Ottawa. American and WestJet expect to implement a second phase of their interline relationship in December that will add additional connecting opportunities through WestJet's non-stop U.S. flights to Canadian cities.

'American's interline agreement with WestJet complements our North American network and greatly benefits our customers by offering additional connections to and from new Canadian markets,' said Virasb Vahidi, American's Chief Commercial Officer. 'West Jet offers a high-quality on-board product that our customers will enjoy.'

'This agreement represents WestJet's first interline with a U.S. carrier and we are excited to be working with such a well-established and recognized global airline like American Airlines,' said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet's Executive Vice-President, Strategy and Planning. 'We look forward to welcoming the many American customers on board our aircraft as guests who will experience WestJet's world-class guest experience.'

The interline connecting itineraries will be available for booking on FlyForLess.ca, effective Nov. 9, 2010.
The companies also said they are exploring other ways to enhance customer benefits through other commercial co-operation agreements.
