WestJet and Delta have announced an interline agreement to begin immediately. Under the terms of the agreement, customers can purchase connecting flights on one ticket, receive boarding passes for all segments at their first check-in, and tag bags through to their final destination.
"This news today demonstrates that we continue to deliver on our strategic plan to establish partnerships with airlines from around the world," said Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet executive vice president, strategy and planning. "Delta is an established, worldwide airline, and this interline agreement will open yet another channel for guests from around the globe to connect to WestJet's network."
"Delta is pleased that its customers now have easy access to WestJet's extensive Canadian network as well as WestJet's trans-border services between Canada and the United States," said Charlie Pappas, Delta's vice president of Alliances.
