WestJet and Air North, Yukon's airline, announced a new interline agreement directly connecting both carrier's networks. Starting July 31, guests can book a single ticket with a connected itinerary between WestJet's global network and the Yukon and Northwest Territories with single point check-in and through-checked bags for connecting itineraries.

Air North currently serves 12 Canadian destinations including four Northern communities in the Yukon and Inuvik, Northwest Territories. Through this interline agreement, guests can book a single ticket to connect between more than 100 destinations in WestJet's growing network including popular tourism hubs in Asia, Europe and the United States conveniently through Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto or Edmonton to or from Whitehorse or Yellowknife, Yukon. This will also allow WestJet guests to book a single ticket to some of Canada's most remote Northern Communities, allowing for increased tourism and economic opportunities to bring the world to the North.

Bookings will be available through a travel agent or third-party ticket sales website starting July 31. WestJet and Air North will continue to work towards future enhancements, including full through check-in capability to be added in the future.
