what happened
Qatar Airways has announced a new codeshare partnership with WestJet. The Qatari carrier will place its QR code on WestJet flights across Canada.
Travellers flying with Qatar Airways can change planes in Toronto (YYZ) or Montreal (YUL) for onward trips to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Ottawa, Regina, Saskatoon, St. John's and Winnipeg. WestJet customers, in turn, gain access to Qatar Airways' network of more than 170 business and leisure destinations, including New Delhi, Nairobi, Singapore and Jeddah.
The deal complements Qatar Airways' own Canadian expansion, which lifts weekly frequencies from 12 to 14 from October 25, 2026, with daily service to Toronto and Montreal.
why it matters
For markets this is an operational update with little effect on share prices. It shows Qatar Airways widening its partner network and growing its presence in Canada, so investor interest is limited.
