WestJet and Southwest delay code-share implementation

May 25th, 2009

WestJet today (25th May 2009) announced that Southwest’s progress on the implementation of the code-share program will be delayed. With the recessionary revenue environment, Southwest has decided to re-direct a portion of its resources dedicated to the code-share project towards other near-term revenue opportunities.

WestJet understands the decision made by Southwest. Our continued US expansion is a key strategy for our airline, but code-sharing is only one element of this. Both airlines remain committed to minimizing delays and are focused on generating revenue as quickly as possible,” stated Dr. Hugh Dunleavy, WestJet’s Executive Vice-President Commercial Distribution. “We have already implemented our distribution agreement and are close to starting a cargo program with Southwest.”
