Having announced the launch of a codeshare cooperation agreement between Emirates and Air Canada, customers of the carriers are to enjoy seamless connectivity to 46 markets spanning three continents, including to destinations across the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent.
The codeshare tickets will be available for sale to 35 markets for travel effective December
1 with 11 additional markets to be added pending final regulatory approval, and the potential for more
markets to be included beyond that.
While giving his remarks about the agreement, Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said:
“We are delighted to establish a partnership with Air Canada, to expand our reach into more points in North America. Partnering with Canada’s flag carrier enables us to offer customers seamless connectivity when flying to domestic points within Canada via Toronto. Besides the added-value benefits and rewarding experiences that leisure and business travellers of both airlines can look forward to, the partnership allows Air Canada’s customers to travel to destinations across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, thanks to our expansive network via our hub in Dubai.”
“This exciting new partnership with Emirates will allow Air Canada to meaningfully broaden the choice
of flight options for our customers. It will create easier connections between Canada and destinations in
the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. As well, it will allow us to draw
more connecting traffic through our Toronto global hub and expand our presence in these dynamic
regions where demand for global travel is expected to grow,” said Michael Rousseau, President and
Chief Executive Officer at Air Canada.
Emirates customers will be able to book codeshare flights to and from Canadian points beyond Toronto,
including Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver.
Air Canada will place its code on routes operated by Emirates from its hub in Dubai, expanding the
airline’s reach across the Indian subcontinent and unlocking more destinations, including Colombo,
Dhaka, Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore.
According to the agreement, seamless connectivity will also be enjoyed by Air Canada’s customers travelling to Southeast Asian destinations including Bangkok, Hanoi, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore; the Middle Eastern cities Jeddah and Muscat; as well as destinations in Africa, namely Addis Ababa and Dar Es Salaam.
