In an attempt to boost connectivity to smaller cities beyond Toronto and Vancouver, Air India announced an interline partnership with WestJet, Canada’s leading leisure carrier.
Improving ease of flying, the partnership would allow single itinerary travel when transitioning between Air India and WestJet flights, offering smoother journeys, coordinated baggage handling, and simplified journeys for passengers.
The partnership would benefit travelers living in 17 Canadian cities and 14 U.S. cities to fly to Toronto or Vancouver on an Air India flight and then take a WestJet flight to their cities without missing a beat.
