WestJet adds six Asian destinations through Korean Air codeshare

Starting May 17, 2024, WestJet guests will gain access to six additional cities across four Asian countries from Incheon International Airport (ICN) through an expansion of WestJet's codeshare agreement with Korean Air.

Through the agreement, guests will have more opportunity to explore transpacific Asian destinations beyond Seoul with a seamless single connection at ICN and the convenience of booking their entire journey with one ticket, baggage transfers, and earning WestJet Dollars throughout.

New WestJet codeshare destinations: 

• Bangkok, Thailand (BKK)
• Da Nang, Vietnam (DAD)
• Hanoi, Vietnam (HAN)
• Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (SGN)
• Hong Kong, China (HKG)
• Singapore (SIN)

"As we prepare for WestJet's inaugural flights between Calgary and Incheon, the timing of this codeshare expansion is ideal.  We are enhancing connectivity to more destinations in Asia for our guests and WestJet Rewards members from one of the world's busiest cities, and Korean Air's global hub" said Jeff Hagen, WestJet Vice-President of Commercial Development and Strategic Partnerships. "Our longstanding reciprocal partnership with Korean Air opens up exciting opportunities for leisure and business travellers to more locations in the Asian continent and offers new guests in Asia access to all of Canada through our global hub in Calgary."

WestJet recently introduced seasonal service between YYC and ICN. The new route will fly on WestJet's 787 Dreamliner up to three days per week during peak travel periods.
