Fiji Airways and WestJet have announced a new codeshare partnership, enhancing connectivity between Canada and the South Pacific.

The agreement will allow guests to travel seamlessly across both airlines' networks under a single booking with improved access to destinations across Canada, Fiji, and beyond. The partnership also supports Fiji Airways' growing North American presence, alongside expanded services to Vancouver, further strengthening links between Canada, Fiji and the wider Pacific.

Through the agreement, Fiji Airways will place its "FJ" code on WestJet's expansive domestic network including Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Halifax, providing convenient connections from key Canadian cities to Fiji Airways international services via its North American gateways. In turn, WestJet will place its "WS" code on Fiji's Vancouver to Nadi flights and through to destinations across New Zealand including Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington, allowing WestJet guests to access to Fiji Airways South Pacific network.

This collaboration is further supported by Fiji Airways' expanded Vancouver operations, reinforcing the route's importance within its international network. From 18 June, the airline will operate three weekly services year-round between Nadi and Vancouver on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The route will also see the introduction of the Airbus A350 on all Vancouver services from 8 September, increasing capacity and enhancing the onboard experience.

The connections between Canada and Fiji have been evident over some time as Canadians continue to choose the South Pacific for their holidays and commercial ties between the two countries grows. This is evident by the celebrated opening of the Canadian High Commission in the heart Fiji's capital city, Suva, in January of this year with a focus on building economic partnerships and with the shared mission of climate resiliency.

In addition to seamless booking on Fijiairways.com and WestJet.com, guests will continue to enjoy the benefits of a single check-in experience, through checked baggage to their destination and for guests who purchase a WestJet coded journey, they will now have the ability to earn and redeem WestJet points on their entire itinerary.

Demand in the Canadian market for access to Pacific destinations continues to grow, with passenger traffic between Canada and Fiji increasing by 19 per cent year-on-year. A significant portion of passengers travelling on the route connect from Vancouver to Fiji Airways broader network including Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. The partnership with WestJet is expected to further strengthen access to the Canadian market by expanding distribution and improving connectivity for WestJet's strong Canadian network.

Travel under this codeshare is now available for booking via fijiairways.com and westjet.com.
