SAS and WestJet Announce New Codeshare Partnership

On Wednesday (December 10, 2025), SAS announced the signing of a new codeshare agreement with WestJet, which will give travelers greater flexibility and easier access across Scandinavia and Canada, enhancing connectivity between the two airlines’ networks.  With the agreement, SAS customers will be able to travel seamlessly via Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and through SAS-served gateways in the U.S.  Likewise, WestJet customers will gain convenient access to SAS’ global hub in Copenhagen as well as in Oslo and Stockholm. SAS offers more flights between Scandinavia and Canada than any other airline, including year-round service between Copenhagen and Toronto.

In Wednesday’s announcement, SAS’ EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Verhagen, said,

“The expanded codeshare partnership with WestJet is an important step in connecting Scandinavia even more closely with Canada.  It strengthens our main base in Copenhagen and gives travelers on both sides of the Atlantic more options and a smoother overall journey.  This agreement broadens our joint offering and creates new opportunities for customers across our combined networks.”

Also commenting on the expanded commercial cooperation, WestJet’s VP and Chief Commercial Officer, John Weatherill, said,

“Deepening our commercial connection with SAS means more seamless connections for guests on both sides of the ocean.  With more Canadians wanting to explore Northern Europe, we are proud to help them get there with ease, so they can focus on the destination.  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.”

Under the new codeshare agreement, SAS customers will gain access to over ten Canadian destinations beyond Toronto, including Vancouver, Calgary, and Halifax, all on a single ticket with through-checked baggage. WestJet’s guests will also benefit from efficient one-stop access to Scandinavia, and onwards across Europe through SAS’ well-connected Copenhagen base.  Additionally, a future loyalty partnership is planned to bring added benefits to EuroBonus and WestJet Rewards members.  This commercial partnership will expand further in 2026, including codesharing on WestJet’s upcoming Halifax–Copenhagen service launching in May.

Founded in 1946, SAS is the leading airline in Scandinavia, with main hubs in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm, and flying to 135 destinations across Europe, the U.S. and Asia.  Each year, SAS serves over 25 million passengers and transports 60,000 tons of cargo, all facilitated by a passionate team of more than 10,000 colleagues.  The company aims to be a driving force in sustainable aviation and in the transition towards net zero emissions by 2050.  SAS also offers ground handling services, technical maintenance and air cargo services.  SAS officially joined the global SkyTeam airline alliance in September 2024, and together with their partner airlines offers a wide network worldwide.  On July 4, 2025, the Air France-KLM Group announced their intention to take a majority ownership stake in SAS, further expanding one of Europe’s leading aviation groups.
