This renewed agreement allows Hong Kong Airlines to place its "HX" codes on various WestJet-operated domestic flights within Canada, facilitating seamless connections via Vancouver to major cities such as Calgary, Toronto, and Edmonton.
The collaboration enables travellers to complete their journey with a single ticket and benefit from through check-in for both boarding and baggage, making Vancouver a strategic gateway between Hong Kong and key Canadian destinations. Louis Li, Executive Vice President of Hong Kong Airlines, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This collaboration not only strengthens Hong Kong Airlines’ network coverage in North America but also demonstrates our confidence in building a truly global network.”
