Virgin Atlantic and WestJet have announced an expansion to their planned codeshare agreement to strengthen business, leisure, and visiting friends-and-family connections between Canada and the UK. The current agreement, which will allow for convenient onward connections for travelers flying from Canada to India via London, will see a range of enhancements in the coming months as the two carriers develop stronger ties to improve competition in the UK-to-Canada market.<\/p>\n

Virgin Atlantic<\/a> will re-launch its Toronto route in March 2025, offering a springboard for the codeshare agreement to commence in full. Having previously served the Canadian city on separate occasions in the past, the recommencement of services to Toronto also marks the return of Virgin Atlantic to any destination in Canada <\/a>for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

The new service between London-Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Toronto-Pearson International Airport (YYZ) will operate on a mix of aircraft including the carrier\u2019s Airbus A330neo and will reinforce the airline\u2019s commitment to the Indian subcontinent and its third-largest market with optimal onward connectivity for Canadians traveling to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, as well as Dubai, the Maldives, Cape Town, and Johannesburg via London Heathrow.<\/p>\n
