Delta Air Lines and Korean Air have announced a significant investment of $550 million in Canada's WestJet Airlines, acquiring respective stakes of 15% and 10%. This partnership aims to enhance connectivity across international routes, especially between North America, Europe, and Asia. Although this investment comes amidst a challenging political climate regarding travel between Canada and the US, both airlines emphasize their commitment to improving customer experience and choice for travelers.
Walter Cho, Chairman and CEO of Korean Air and Hanjin Group, stated that the partnership will "create long-term value for customers through greater choice and convenience."
Delta's CEO Ed Bastian emphasized that the investment "ensures that we remain focused on providing a world-class global network and customer experience for travelers in the United States and Canada."
