WestJet & Scandinavian Airlines System Announce Reciprocal Codeshare Deal

WestJet & Scandinavian Airlines System Announce Reciprocal Codeshare Deal

Canadians will enjoy closer connections to Scandinavia through a WestJet/SAS codeshare deal.

WestJet has announced a reciprocal codeshare partnership with Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS), offering guests on both sides of the Atlantic access to a broader network of destinations with the ease of a single booking. 

Guests travelling from Calgary International Airport (YYC) on WestJet’s non-stop transatlantic flights to Paris and London Heathrow can now expand their horizons to some of SAS’ most popular destinations. 

This agreement allows guests to book their entire journey on one ticket, while offering seamless single connection, baggage transfers and the ability to earn WestJet Rewards on any WestJet marketed itinerary with SAS.

“Deepening our commercial connection with SAS means more seamless connections for guests on both sides of the ocean,” said John Weatherill, WestJet EVP and Chief Commercial Officer.

“With more Canadians wanting to explore Northern Europe, we are proud to help them get there with ease, so they can focus on the destination. We are proud to partner with a world-class airline like SAS and look forward to introducing more connectivity between our two unique networks in 2026.”

Single-Stop Access to Three Nordic Hubs

From storied capitals to secluded coastal treasures, WestJet guests can now enjoy streamlined access to Copenhagen, Denmark, Oslo, Norway and Stockholm, Sweden on a year-round basis via WestJet’s non-stop Calgary-Paris and Calgary-Heathrow offerings. 

In 2026, WestJet guests will enjoy connectivity to these destinations from other transatlantic cities including Edinburgh, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome and Keflavik, allowing one-stop connectivity from WestJet’s other Canadian gateways to Europe. WestJet’s code will also be placed on SAS’ year-round direct service between Toronto and Copenhagen. 

The partnership expansion opens options for Europe-based guests looking to access the best of Canada via Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) as well as via SAS’ gateways in the United States including Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington-D.C., New York JFK and Boston. SAS code will be placed on WestJet operated flights beyond their Copenhagen-Toronto service and U.S. gateways to more than 10 Canadian destinations from coast-to-coast-to-coast including Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Halifax and more.

Deeper Connections Coming for Atlantic Canada

Last month, WestJet announced seasonal non-stop four-times weekly service between Halifax and Copenhagen, connecting the two cities for the first time beginning in May 2026. The airlines look forward to expanding their partnership early in the new year to include codesharing on the route, and providing more connections beyond Copenhagen while also welcoming guests from across Europe to enjoy the beauty of Nova Scotia.
