NEWS FLASH
WestJet will become Air Serbia’s new partner in Canada, just over a week after launching services to Toronto. Speaking at the Slovenian Aviation and Travel Industry Summit in Ljubljana yesterday, Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said, “Last week we launched Toronto and in the next couple of days we will announce an interline agreement with WestJet and there will be something more to come. This will allow connectivity beyond Toronto. Codeshare is usually the second phase of cooperation once you get some scale”. An interline agreement is a commercial arrangement between airlines that enables passengers to travel on flights operated by different carriers under a single booking. It allows for coordinated ticketing, baggage transfer to the final destination, and streamlined handling of connections. WestJet is Canada’s second-largest airline after Air Canada, operating an extensive domestic, transborder and international network. Founded in 1996 as a low cost carrier, it has evolved into a full-service operator serving destinations across North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia through both its own flights and partnerships with other airlines.
