WestJet Adds YVR–LAX in Delta Codeshare Expansion

Westjet-Delta

WestJet will place its code on Delta Air Lines' new Vancouver-LA service as part of an expansion of the carriers' codeshare partnership, according to Aeroroutes.

The YVR-LAX route will be available in late November 2026, giving WestJet customers additional access to Delta-operated flights between the two cities.

In early June, Open Jaw reported that Delta was rebooting its Vancouver-LA beginning 21NOV, 2026, following an eight-year pause. The service will offer twice daily flights between the two cities on board an Airbus A319. 

As part of the announcement, the US airline said it planned to strengthen its position as the largest carrier at LAX.

"The addition strengthens Delta’s growing international network from LAX while giving Southern California customers convenient access to one of North America’s most popular year-round destinations, whether for outdoor adventure, cruise departures, world-class dining or winter travel throughout British Columbia," a Delta spokesperson told Open Jaw at the time.

In total, WestJet is adding nine US routes to its Delta codeshare arrangement, all operated by Delta. The additional services include:

  • Detroit-Las Vegas
  • Detroit-Los Angeles
  • Detroit-San Diego
  • Detroit-San Francisco
  • Detroit-Seattle
  • Minneapolis/St. Paul-Los Angeles
  • Minneapolis/St. Paul-Orlando
  • Minneapolis/St. Paul-San Diego
  • Minneapolis/St. Paul-San Francisco
