WestJet and Korean Air have expanded their long-standing codeshare agreement with the placement of WestJet's codeshare on Korean's flights between both Toronto Pearson and Vancouver International in Canada and Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea.
Commenting on the agreement, John Weatherill, WestJet’s Chief Commercial Officer said: “It is incredibly exciting for WestJet to codeshare on flights across the Pacific to Asia for the first time. We've had a strong codeshare with Korean since 2012 and we're very pleased to be taking this important step with a world-class partner like Korean. We're looking forward to the new opportunities our now reciprocal codeshare will bring to consumers traveling between Canada and Asia."
Tae Joon Kim, Korean Air Senior Vice President and Head of International Affairs & Alliance said: “We are delighted to expand our codeshare partnership with our long-standing partner WestJet, and look forward to delivering unparalleled services across the Pacific to our valued customers. We remain committed to bridging Canada, Korea, and Asia through our hub at Incheon Airport."
This is WestJet's first reciprocal codeshare with an Asian partner providing the passengers with more opportunities to combine WestJet and Korean flights to meet their trans-Pacific travel needs.
