CALGARY – WestJet has signed a codeshare deal with Icelandair that will allow travellers to fly to more than 10 cities in Europe through a connection in Iceland.

Icelandair travellers will also be able to connect with one stop to a collection of Canadian cities across WestJet’s domestic network.

WestJet chief commercial officer John Weatherill says the airline is opening more seamless access to Europe while deepening its partnership with Icelandair.

WestJet is set to begin seasonal non-stop service to Keflavik International Airport near Reykjavik, Iceland, from Edmonton and Winnipeg later this month.

The airline’s seasonal route from Calgary to Iceland is also set to return for the 2026 summer travel season.

The agreement with Icelandair follows a codeshare agreement between WestJet and Fiji Airways announced last month.
