WestJet and Copa Airlines have announced an interline agreement that will significantly enhance connectivity across both carriers’ networks. The agreement allows WestJet guests to seamlessly travel beyond its newly announced destination, Panama City, with access to 37 Copa Airlines destinations across Central and South America. Additionally, Copa guests travelling north will gain access to WestJet’s extensive North American network.
“Building on the announcement of our new direct service from Calgary to Panama City, this new interline partnership agreement will increase access to destinations across Central and South America for Canadian travellers,” said WestJet Executive VP John Weatherill. “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 announced new service between Calgary and Panama City beginning Dec. 13 operating four times weekly this winter. This new route between Calgary and Copa Airlines’ hub in Panama City provides new opportunities to fly to gateways such as Buenos Aires; Belize City; Lima; Rio de Janeiro; San Jose, Costa Rica; and many more.
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. Bookings will be available through a travel agent or third-party ticket sales websites.
