HOW SWEDE IT IS: WestJet, SAS, announce codeshare

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

Now in effect, guests travelling from Calgary International Airport (YYC) on WestJet’s non-stop transatlantic flights to Paris and London Heathrow, can expand their horizons to some of SAS’ most popular destinations. This new codeshare 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. 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,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive VP and CCO. “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.”

WestJet guests can now take advantage of streamlined access to Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm on a year-round basis via WestJet’s non-stop Calgary-Paris and Calgary-Heathrow offerings.

In 2026, WestJet guests will have 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 also opens options for Europe-based guests looking to access Canada via Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) as well as via SAS’ gateways in the U.S. 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.

Last month, WestJet announced seasonal non-stop four-time weekly service between Halifax and Copenhagen, connecting the two cities for the first time beginning in May 2026. The airlines plan to expand the codeshare on the route in the New Year.
