\"Southwes<\/a>Southwest Airlines\u00a0 cancel its code-sharing agreement with Canadian carrier WestJet Airlines, a decision that will slow its entry into Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dallas-based Southwest said Friday it couldn\u2019t go along with changes to the agreement requested by WestJet, which wants to begin a code-sharing deal with Delta Air Lines Inc. from New York LaGuardia Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe prefer the existing terms of our agreement with WestJet,\u201d said Bob Jordan, Southwest’s executive vice president of strategy and planning. \u201dUpon reviewing the number of changes that WestJet has requested, we have decided that it is in the best interest of both parties to move forward independently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delta, which wants to swap landing and takeoff slots with US Airways Inc., has proposed giving WestJet five pairs of slots at LaGuardia. Southwest chairman and chief executive Gary Kelly said the existing Southwest-WestJet agreement wouldn\u2019t allow WestJet and Delta to code-share out of LaGuardia.<\/p>\n

Code-sharing is an airline industry practice of putting one airline\u2019s flight number, or code, on another carrier\u2019s flights so that each can feed their passengers to the other carrier\u2019s flights.<\/p>\n

Southwest and WestJet originally planned to launch their partnership in 2009, but delayed the implementation until 2010 at Southwest\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

The collapse of their arrangement leaves Southwest without access to the Canadian market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain interested in exploring the possibility of one day offering service to Canada if it makes sense for Southwest and for our customers,\u201d Jordan said. \u201cThat would not rule out future code-share relationships with Canadian carriers, or flying north of the border ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
