On Monday (June 30, 2025), WestJet announced the launch of a new interline partnership with Saudia, which unlocks enhanced international connectivity to over 100 destinations.  The agreement includes single-connection access to Jeddah via Toronto Pearson, and both Jeddah and Riyadh from London Heathrow and Paris Charles-de-Gaulle.  Guests can now book a single ticket with a connected itinerary between WestJet and Saudia's networks and enjoy single point check-in and bags checked through to their final destination.


In Monday’s announcement, WestJet’s EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, John Weatherill, said,


“An interline partnership with Saudia marks a major step forward in expanding global connectivity for our guests.  This agreement not only provides WestJet guests with seamless single-connection access to Saudia’s extensive global network but also strengthens inbound tourism and business links.  Together, WestJet and Saudia are creating more convenient and diverse travel options for guests on both sides, fostering stronger connections and collaboration across continents.”


Also commenting on the new interline partnership, Saudia’s Chief Commercial Officer, Arved von zur Muehlen, said,


“We value the partnership with WestJet, it reflects Saudia’s commitment to offer our guests more destinations through key international gateways.  Canada is now closer than ever, and we are also offering a seamless journey for travellers from Canada to explore Saudi Arabia and experience its unique culture, heritage, and hospitality.”


With nearly 30 years of service, WestJet has cut airfares for Canadians in half and increased the flying population around Canada by over 50 percent.  The airline launched in 1996 with three aircraft, 250 employees and five destinations, and has now grown to nearly 200 aircraft and 14,000 employees, offering service to over 100 destinations across North America, Central America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia.
