WestJet Airlines Ltd. announced that guests travelling beyond Atlanta will have access to a broad network and benefits through WestJet's strong relationship with Delta Air Lines. This includes codeshare flights to over 50 connecting destinations now accessible with only one stop from Winnipeg, the ability to earn and redeem WestJet Rewards on both airlines and top tier frequent flyer benefits through the entire journey. WestJet guests have access to Delta's broad network on a single purchased ticket with check-in for all flights at the first departure, baggage tagged to their final destination and lounge access for select guests.

WestJet's service announcement between Winnipeg and Atlanta comes less than a year after the airline announced direct service between Manitoba's capital and Los Angeles. Since beginning service between Winnipeg to Los Angeles in October 2022, WestJet has seen consistently strong demand for transborder travel.
