WestJet and China Airlines announce code-share agreement

WestJet announced it has entered into a code-share agreement with China Airlines (CI), allowing the carrier to begin marketing and selling WestJet-operated flights.

Code-share designations will be available on select WestJet flights from Vancouver and Los Angeles. Bookings can be made through China Airlines or a travel agency. China Airlines is the Calgary-based carrier’s oldest interline partner.
