WestJet Adds Six Asian Destinations via Codeshare Deal

Canadian airline WestJet is adding six cities across four Asian countries to its network, thanks to an expanded codeshare agreement with Korean Air.

Under the new agreement, WestJet customers will have the option to connect to multiple destinations from Incheon International Airport (ICN), booking the journey with one ticket and earning WestJet dollars throughout. 

The new codeshare destinations are: Bangkok, Thailand; Da Nang, Vietnam; Hanoi, Vietnam; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Hong Kong, China; and, Singapore.  

“As we prepare for WestJet’s inaugural flights between Calgary and Incheon, the timing of this codeshare expansion is ideal. We are enhancing connectivity to more destinations in Asia for our guests and WestJet Rewards members from one of the world’s busiest cities, and Korean Air’s global hub,” said Jeff Hagen, WestJet vice president of commercial development and strategic partnerships. 

WestJet’s new service from Calgary, Canada to Seoul, Korea debuts on May 17, 2024. 

“We are excited to announce an expanded codeshare with our longstanding partner WestJet, offering our valued customers access to a wide range of transpacific destinations,” said Tae Joon Kim, Korean Air senior vice president and head of international affairs & alliance. “The launch of WestJet’s Calgary – Seoul Incheon route will bolster connectivity between Korea and Canada, while our strengthened partnership will seamlessly connect customers to an expanded array of Asian and Canadian cities through our hubs in Incheon and Calgary, respectively.”
