Fiji Airways and WestJet have launched a codeshare partnership on May 12, 2026, to enhance travel between Canada and the South Pacific. The agreement allows passengers to book flights across both airlines’ networks seamlessly, improving access to destinations in Canada, Fiji, New Zealand, and beyond. Fiji Airways will place its “FJ” code on WestJet’s domestic routes, including Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Halifax, while WestJet will add its “WS” code to Fiji Airways’ flights from Vancouver to Nadi and onward to Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington. Starting June 18, 2026, Fiji Airways will operate three weekly flights between Nadi and Vancouver on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, transitioning to Airbus A350 aircraft from September 8, 2026. The expanded service aims to increase capacity and improve the travel experience for passengers. The partnership supports Fiji Airways’ growing presence in North America and strengthens connectivity between Canada and the Pacific region. Paul Scurrah, Fiji Airways’ Managing Director and CEO, stated the collaboration is a key step in boosting Fiji’s global connectivity, highlighting Canada as a high-value market for tourism and trade. The partnership aligns with recent developments, such as the January 2026 opening of Canada’s High Commission in Suva, which focuses on economic ties and climate resilience. Jennifer Lalonde, Canada’s High Commissioner to Fiji, welcomed the partnership as a way to deepen bilateral relations through improved travel, tourism, and trade. John Weatherill, WestJet’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer, emphasized the partnership’s goal of simplifying travel for passengers seeking cultural experiences, family connections, or adventure. Passengers can book flights through FijiAirways.com or WestJet.com, enjoying benefits like single check-in, through baggage, and WestJet points redemption for journeys coded under WestJet.
