CALGARY — WestJet and Hong Kong Airlines have entered into a codeshare agreement, building on an existing interline agreement put in place earlier this year.

The codeshare agreement will see Hong Kong Airlines putting its HX marketing code on WestJet-operated flights.

“We welcome Hong Kong Airlines as our newest codeshare partner and congratulate them on their inaugural service to Vancouver in June of this year,” said Ed Sims, WestJet Executive VP, Commercial. “This codeshare agreement provides guests on both sides of the Pacific more choice and opportunity to experience excellent service and travel globally. We look forward to welcoming Hong Kong Airlines’ guests on board and providing them with our caring WestJet service.”

Added Li Dianchun, Chief Commercial Officer, Hong Kong Airlines: “Our newly launched daily service between Hong Kong and Vancouver has been a great success, and this codeshare agreement with WestJet, which extends our network in Canada beyond Vancouver towards Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto is the logical next step. Passengers flying with Hong Kong Airlines can now enjoy a seamless connection experience onto a WestJet flight.”
