WestJet and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) have a new interline agreement, giving single-ticket access to 29 destinations across Denmark, Sweden and Norway including key cities such as Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Luleå and Malmö.
“We’re pleased to welcome SAS as our latest interline partner, creating new two-way travel opportunities between Canada and key destinations across Northern Europe,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “This partnership not only enhances connectivity for WestJet guests heading to Scandinavia but also opens up smoother access for Nordic travellers looking to experience the best of Canada through our growing domestic network.”
The agreement enables convenient connections through SAS’ non-stop service between Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and its global hub in Copenhagen(CPH), offering a direct link into Denmark, and beyond.
In addition to Toronto Pearson, this agreement will enable WestJet guests to connect with SAS’ network through London Heathrow, Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam, Reykjavikand other European gateways.
“This partnership lays the foundation for a long-term collaboration that will benefit travelers on both sides of the Atlantic. Together with WestJet, we’re not only connecting Scandinavia with more destinations across Canada — we’re also opening up new ways to reach Europe from key Canadian cities. And with our planned codeshare, even more seamless options are just around the corner,” says Paul Verhagen, Chief Commercial Officer at SAS.
Ratified by WestJet and SAS executives at the IATA AGM in Delhi, Indiaearlier this week, both airlines will have bookings for sale on June 26, 2025, for itineraries that connect both WestJet and SAS flights, with the convenience of single point check-in and through-checked baggage. Bookings will be available through travel agents and third-party ticketing platforms.
This interline agreement is the first phase of co-operation between the airlines. WestJet and SAS intend to expand the partnership to codeshare in the coming months.
