WestJet has announced a new interline partnership agreement with Copa Airlines.

The partnership significantly enhances connectivity across both carriers’ networks, and allows WestJet guests to seamlessly travel beyond its newly announced destination, Panama City, with access to 37 Copa Airlines destinations across Central and South America.

Additionally, Copa passengers travelling north will gain access to WestJet’s extensive North American network.

“Building on the announcement of our new direct service from Calgary to Panama City, this new interline partnership agreement will increase access to destinations across Central and South America for Canadian travellers,” said John Weatherill, WestJet EVP and CCO. “We remain focused on connecting guests to the world’s most popular sun and leisure destinations this winter, while also meeting the needs of business travellers by continuing to provide convenient access to some of South America’s largest markets.”

WestJet announced its new service between Calgary and Panama City beginning December 13, 2025, operating four times weekly this winter.

The new route between WestJet’s global hub in Calgary and Copa Airlines’ hub in Panama City provides new opportunities for business and leisure travellers to visit more of the Americas.

With new access via Calgary to Panama City, WestJet guests can now book a single ticket with a connected itinerary between WestJet and Copa Airlines’ networks with single point check-in and through-checked bags.
