Virgin America
Virgin America is teaming up with Virgin Mobile USA to take the Virgin Mobile FreeFest movement from coast to coast. Fresh off the heels of Virgin Mobile USAOs announcement that 35,000 Virgin Mobile FreeFest tickets were scooped up by fans, Virgin America announced that it will donate use of an entire plane, dubbed the FreeFest Express, to bring more West Coast do-gooders from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., to attend the festival -- for free. The companies are teaming up to give people another chance to earn their way to FreeFest by donating time to homeless youth organizations. Jul 17, 2009
WestJet, Air France KLM
WestJet and Air France KLM launched their interline partnership, allowing AF KLM passengers to connect to Calgary-Vancouver WS flights as well as flights from both cities to Edmonton. In February the airlines said they had signed an MOU signaling their intention to codeshare by late 2009 or early 2010 . WS, which long has sought to expand its international reach via interline partnerships, also has an agreement to cooperate with Southwest Airlines but implementation has been postponed. WestJet Executive VP-Commercial Distribution Hugh Dunleavy said the interline services made available yesterday are just the "first step in our strategic partnership" with AF KLM, adding, "Starting with only three Canadian cities allows us to take a measured and thoughtful approach to implementation, with the intent to expand this travel to our entire Canadian network."
