American, WestJet form alliance
American Airlines and WestJet Airlines launched a comprehensive codeshare agreement that will give “customers of both airlines more choices and greater connectivity when travelling between the United States and Canada, as well as across American’s worldwide network,” the companies announced
This codeshare relationship allows American to place its AA* code on WestJet flights, and WestJet to place its WS* code on flights of American Airlines.
“The placement of AA* code on WestJet flights will provide American’s customers seamless connecting service to nearly 20 Canadian cities not currently served by American or American Eagle,” the companies say.
Initially, American will place its code on flights in the following markets: Montreal to Winnipeg and Toronto to Edmonton.
By placing the WS* code on American’s flights, WestJet will be offering its guests service to more than 30 new American US destinations. WestJet will add these codeshare routes in phases, starting with the WS* code on American flights to Dallas/Fort Worth and Los Angeles via Toronto, with expanded service throughout the American Airlines network expected in the near future.
“The codeshare agreement will make it easier and more convenient for customers to connect from WestJet to American’s global route network and from American to WestJet’s Canadian cities,” say the companies.
