WestJet (WS): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
WestJet is stored in this dataset as IATA code WS and ICAO code WJA, based in Canada. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
WestJet is stored as IATA WS and ICAO WJA, country Canada. The converter maps marketing carrier WS to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with WS plus a numeric flight number and a booking class letter. This article is not an airline homepage: schedules, change fees, and loyalty rules are omitted because they are not stored and must not be invented. Peer carriers from Canada in this catalog: AC (Air Canada). Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes WS.
How to use this page

- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
