Westjet and OW
I read in the newspaper that Willie Walsh is very interested in Westjet and the 2 companies BA & Westjet are drawing up some sort of formal alliance for connection inside Canada. The article was focusing on the New Calgary Heathrow route which will be stepped up in frequency in 2007. The undertone in the article was telling me that BA may look at investment in the company. However, Willie Walsh is noted as saying its they are talking but maybe not about that. So this will be no surprise. Maybe a link with BA would mean Westjet going OneWorld.
Having said that there probably would be issues with BA investing in a Canadian company... Perhaps if anything a minority holding.
