JAL, WestJet begin codeshare agreement
TOKYO —
Japan Airlines (JAL) and WestJet Airlines (WestJet) have entered into a codeshare agreement which will place the “JL” flight indicator on WestJet-operated flights between Vancouver and six Canadian cities - Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg, from Thursday.
WestJet pioneered low-cost flying in Canada when it started in 1996 and has since then, grown to become the country’s second largest airline, operating to 71 cities in North America and the Caribbean with a modern fleet of 96 Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft and some 8,300 employees, offering customers increased legroom, leather seats and live seatback television provided by Bell TV.
The latest agreement with WestJet will expand the total number of Canadian cities in JAL’s network from three to seven, enabling customers to connect smoothly between JAL’s daily Narita-Vancouver flight and Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna and Winnipeg, in addition to Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.

This is going to hit Air Canada hard - many people don't have an option but to fly just AC when heading home and well, thank god! Another option!!

A real odd couple - a lumbering dinosaur and a small, lightweight newcomer.
