Effective immediately, WestJet passengers will gain direct access to Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) from five Canadian airports through the expansion of the Canadian carrier’s 10-year partnership with Condor Airlines.
Through the new codeshare agreement, expanded from a previous interline tie-up, WestJet will sell itineraries on flights operated by Condor Airlines from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Halifax to Germany's busiest airport, with the ease of a single ticket and through checked baggage, earning WestJet Dollars throughout.
Additionally, Condor guests looking to explore Canada can take advantage of WestJet's domestic network with the same benefits. WestJet will also provide connectivity to the United States for Condor guests connecting through Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Halifax later this summer.

"Through the expansion of our partnership with Condor Airlines, we are unlocking amazing opportunities for our guests in Europe and Canada to access an extensive list of tourism destinations on both sides of the Atlantic," said John Weatherill, WestJet Group EVP & CCO.
"Our shared passion for affordable leisure travel has allowed our partnership to evolve to meet the growing demand for transatlantic travel, and we look forward to welcoming the world to Canada this summer."
Jens Boyd, Commercial Director at Condor, says with Condor’s return to Calgary, it was “high time” to strengthen ties with WestJet and improve travel for passengers and sales partners.
"Everyone will be able to access our joint codeshare network to Frankfurt and beyond through WestJet.com, and services can be added irrespective of where the ticket was booked. In parallel, we are streamlining connections at all Canadian airports by allowing our passengers to go to their connecting gate right after immigration without having to pick up their luggage first."
Guests from across WestJet's network will enjoy the convenience of booking their entire journey on one ticket through WestJet.com and the WestJet App starting today and will benefit from a seamless single connection at FRA with baggage transfers and earning WestJet Dollars throughout their journey.
