WestJet Expands Northern Europe Network with SAS Codeshare

WestJet and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) have launched a reciprocal codeshare agreement, giving WestJet passengers broader options to reach Northern Europe. Guests can now book single-ticket itineraries across both carriers, with through-checked baggage, streamlined connections, and the ability to earn WestJet Rewards on WestJet-marketed SAS flights.

The codeshare initially links WestJet’s non-stop Calgary-Paris and Calgary-London Heathrow services with SAS destinations including Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, simplifying access to Scandinavia’s three major hubs year-round.

Additional connectivity is planned for 2026, when WestJet expects to add one-stop links to SAS destinations via other transatlantic departures, including Edinburgh, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome, and Keflavik.

WestJet’s code will also be added to SAS’s non-stop Toronto-Copenhagen service, creating new options from Canada’s largest gateway.

“Deepening our commercial connection with SAS means more seamless connections for guests on both sides of the ocean,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “With more Canadians wanting to explore Northern Europe, we are proud to help them get there with ease. We are proud to partner with a world-class airline like SAS and look forward to introducing more connectivity between our two unique networks in 2026.”

Paul Verhagen, EVP and COO at SAS, added, “This agreement broadens our joint offering and creates new opportunities for customers across our combined networks.”

Looking ahead, both airlines plan further growth in 2026. WestJet’s new seasonal Halifax-Copenhagen service, launching May 2026, will mark the first direct connection between the two cities and will be included in the codeshare, offering additional onward connections through Copenhagen.
