WestJet has announced a new interline partnership with Saudi Airlines (Saudia) covering connections to Jeddah and Riyah via Toronto, London, and Paris.


Under interline partnership, customers can now book a single-ticket with a connected itinerary between Canada-based WestJet and Saudia's networks for travel to Jeddah via Toronto Pearson. In addition, travelers can connect to Jeddah and Riyadh via both London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle.


“An interline partnership with Saudia marks a major step forward in expanding global connectivity for our guests,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. “This agreement not only provides WestJet guests with seamless single-connection access to Saudia’s extensive global network but also strengthens inbound tourism and business links. Together, WestJet and Saudia are creating more convenient and diverse travel options for guests on both sides, fostering stronger connections and collaboration across continents.”

Arved von zur Muehlen, Chief Commercial Officer at Saudia, said, “We value the partnership with WestJet, it reflects Saudia’s commitment to offer our guests more destinations through key international gateways. Canada is now closer than ever, and we are also offering a seamless journey for travellers from Canada to explore Saudi Arabia and experience its unique culture, heritage, and hospitality.”

Saudia currently operates four weekly flights between Jeddah and Toronto. WestJet operates flights to London Heathrow from Calgary, and to Paris Charles de Gualle from Calgary, Halifax, and St. Johns.
