It’s now easier for WestJet passengers to get to Frankfurt, thanks to the airline’s expanded interline agreement with Condor Airlines.

For the first time in their 10-year partnership, WestJet and Condor will be codesharing, allowing WestJet guests to gain direct access to Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) from five Canadian airports. Through the agreement, WestJet will sell itineraries on flights operated by Condor Airlines from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Halifax with the ease of a single ticket. Passengers will enjoy through checked baggage and earn WestJet Dollars throughout.

Additionally, Condor guests looking to explore Canada can take advantage of WestJet’s expansive domestic network with the same benefits. WestJet will also provide connectivity to the United States for Condor guests through Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Halifax later this summer.

“Through the expansion of our partnership with Condor Airlines, we are unlocking amazing opportunities for our guests in Europe and Canada to access an extensive list of tourism destinations on both sides of the Atlantic,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “Our shared passion for affordable leisure travel has allowed our partnership to evolve to meet the growing demand for transatlantic travel, and we look forward to welcoming the world to Canada this summer.”

Jens Boyd, Commercial Director at Condor, added: “With Condor’s return to Calgary, it’s been high time for us to strengthen our ties with WestJet and improve travel for our passengers and sales partners. Everyone will be able to access our joint codeshare network to Frankfurt and beyond through WestJet.com, and services can be added irrespective of where the ticket was booked. In parallel, we are streamlining connections at all Canadian airports by allowing our passengers to go to their connecting gate right after immigration without having to pick up their luggage first.”
