Cathay and WestJet announce new code share agreement

Cathay Pacific Airways and WestJet have begun a new code-share arrangement to offer passengers more choice and greater connectivity between Hong Kong and Canada. Cathay Pacific’s “CX” code will be placed on WestJet flights between Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa and Winnipeg and the Hong Kong carrier’s two Canadian gateways, Toronto and Vancouver. This is the second code-share agreement announced by Cathay in one week, as chief executive is quick to point out: “We are very pleased to announce this new code-share arrangement with WestJet, just one week after announcing another code-share service extending our reach in the United States,”
