American Airlines and Porter Airlines are teaming up on a new codeshare partnership that will enhance travel between the United States and Canada.

Toronto-based Porter will place its code on select American transborder and domestic flights, giving passengers seamless access to more destinations when traveling from Canada. This includes connections through American’s key hubs at Charlotte (NC), Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Fort Worth and Philadelphia. Porter’s code will also be placed on American’s southern network, extending access to destinations in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.

In turn, American will place its code on select flights operated by Porter from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). American operates more flights to YYZ than any other U.S. carrier. In addition to domestic routes in Canada, American will also place its code on Porter’s flight between YYZ and Phoenix (PHX), with additional transborder flights to come. As well as flights to YYZ in Canada, American offers year-round flights to Calgary (YYC), Montreal (YUL), and Vancouver (YVR), and seasonal service to Halifax (YHZ) and Quebec City (YQB).

“This partner ship with American Airlines provides a true competitive alternative for passengers needing more options when flying between Canada and the United States,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice-president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “By initially combining Porter’s growing Canadian network with American’s extensive reach in the U.S. and southern destinations, we are offering improved connectivity, in combination with Porter’s commitment to high-quality service. This is something that we are committed to growing with additional global routing options and future VIPorter loyalty integration.”

“Canada is one of the most popular destinations for travelers and American is excited to partner with Porter Airlines to unlock more travel options for customers,” said Anmol Bhargava, senior vice-president of Global Alliances, American Airlines. “This partnership puts customers at the forefront, and we look forward to providing even more seamless transborder travel options together.”
