Virgin begins codeshare on Gatwick-Canada routes
Virgin Atlantic has announced a new codeshare partnership with Canadian airline WestJet.
From today, customers will be able to book with Virgin Atlantic and fly to four key airports, then connect onwards to 28 further domestic destinations in Canada with the new partnership.
WestJet flies year-round from Gatwick to Calgary and Toronto and offers services from Gatwick to Halifax and Vancouver in the summer season.
It’s the third largest carrier on the UK-Canada market. Further destinations customers will be able to connect to on the new partnership include Montreal, Quebec, Edmonton and Deer Lake.
