WestJet and Fiji Airways are enacting their codeshare permit this month on service between Vancouver and Nadi.
The Canadian Transportation Agency granted approval for WestJet to operate codeshare flights to Fiji in March. Codeshare agreements allow multiple airlines to sell seats on a single flight using their individual flight numbers.
The move allows guests to travel seamlessly across both airlines' networks under a single booking with improved access to destinations across Canada, Fiji, and beyond.
Through the agreement, Fiji Airways will place its "FJ" code on WestJet's domestic network, including Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Halifax, providing connections from Canadian cities to Fiji Airways international services via its North American gateways.
In turn, WestJet will place its "WS" code on Fiji's Vancouver to Nadi flights and through to destinations across New Zealand, including Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington, allowing WestJet guests access to Fiji Airways South Pacific network.
This partnership is also supported by Fiji Airways' expanded Vancouver operations. Starting 18JUN, the airline will operate three weekly services year-round between Nadi and Vancouver on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
The route will also see the introduction of the Airbus A350 on all Vancouver services from 08SEP, increasing capacity and enhancing the onboard experience.
"By deepening ties between WestJet's North American network and Fiji Airways' world-class service to the South Pacific, we are making it easier for our shared guests to reach the destinations that matter most to them," said John Weatherill, WestJet Group’s executive vice-president and chief commercial officer.
Passenger traffic between Canada and Fiji has increased by 19% over the last year, with a significant portion of passengers connecting from Vancouver to Fiji Airways' broader network, including Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. Canada also opened a High Commission in Fiji's capital, Suva, earlier this year.
