Southwest dumps Canada deal with WestJet

DALLAS — Southwest Airlines is dropping plans to sell travel to Canada in a partnership with WestJet.

Southwest said Friday it pulled out after the Canadian carrier asked for changes in the agreement that the two reached back in 2008.

WestJet would have done all the cross-border flying, and both airlines would have sold seats on each other’s flights.

Southwest doesn’t fly anywhere outside the U.S., but it says it’s still interested in serving Canada either by itself or with a partner airline.
