WestJet and Virgin Atlantic have announced an expansion of their codeshare partnership.
The announcement was made early on June 10th in Las Vegas, during the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Dubai. The two carriers have been codesharing since 2019.
This expansion means that international flights departing and arriving at London Heathrow by Virgin Atlantic will now include one-stop access to destinations like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Lagos, Dubai, and the Maldives. WestJet operates flights between Calgary and London/Heathrow.
From the summer of 2025, the codeshare will also include WestJet’s domestic flights in Canada connecting with Virgin Atlantic’s newly introduced Toronto-London/Heathrow route. The partnership is also expected to enhance the relationship between the airlines’ loyalty programs in 2025.
