WestJet and Pacific Coastal Airlines have signed a reciprocal interline relationship, the first of its kind for Pacific Coastal that will facilitate more connections across Alberta and British Columbia. As a part of the agreement, passengers will now be able to purchase a single ticket from either airline for travel involving connecting flights between their networks. They can also enjoy optimised connecting times and the convenience of checking in and receiving boarding passes for all flights at the first point of departure.
John Weatherill, WestJet's Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We are thrilled to become the first interline partner for Pacific Coastal and to add to our existing WestJet Link relationship. This new interline complements our focus on Western Canada and the strong schedule we’re bringing to the communities we serve directly and through our partners like Pacific Coastal.”
Johnathan Richardson, Vice President of Customer and Commercial, Pacific Coastal Airlines, said: "Pacific Coastal Airlines is proud to partner with WestJet on our first interline. We look forward to working together to connect the communities we serve and bring them exciting new options for their global travel needs."
This new interline expands the existing relationship between the airlines, through which Pacific Coastal Airlines operates all WestJet Link flights on behalf of WestJet under a capacity purchase agreement, serving 11 communities in Alberta and British Columbia.
