DALLAS — The German carrier Condor Airlines (DE) announced a codeshare agreement with the Canadian carrier Westjet (WS), under which their passengers gain a direct connection to Frankfurt Airport (FRA) from five Canadian airports.

For the next ten years, WS passengers can buy tickets from Vancouver (YVR), Edmonton (YEG), Calgary (YYC), Toronto (YYZ), and Halifax(YHZ) to FRA for flights operated by DE and their Airbus A330-900 from these airports. Also, Condor(DE) passengers willing to explore Canada can use the WS domestic network or can go to the US using WS flights.

Westjet passengers using the new codeshare can easily explore Europe from the busiest German airport with a single ticket and a single baggage check-in. They can also win “Westjet Dollars” while keeping all the advantages of flying with the Canadian carrier. They can also book their trips from the WS website or the app.
