WestJet Boosts Latin America Connectivity with Copa Interline Deal

WestJet is launching Calgary-Panama City service.

WestJet has announced a new interline partnership agreement with Copa Airlines, building on its newly announced route linking Calgary and Panama City. 

The agreement allows WestJet guests to seamlessly travel Panama City to 37 Copa Airlines destinations across Central and South America. Copa guests travelling north will gain access to WestJet’s extensive North American network.

“This new interline partnership agreement will increase access to destinations across Central and South America for Canadian travellers,” said John Weatherill, EVP and CCO. 

“We remain focused on connecting guests to the world’s most popular sun and leisure destinations this winter, while also meeting the needs of business travellers by continuing to provide convenient access to some of South America’s largest markets.”

WestJet recently announced its new service between Calgary and Panama City beginning December 13, 2025, operating four times weekly this winter. 

With new access via Calgary to Panama City, WestJet guests can now book a single ticket with a connected itinerary between WestJet and Copa Airlines’ networks with single point check-in and through-checked bags.
