Air Canada announced its expanded partnership with Lufthansa to include codeshare service on Lufthansa Express Rail operated by Deutsche Bahn, Germany’s national railway.
The move allows passengers to book a combined air and rail itinerary through Air Canada, connecting with up to 24 German cities from Frankfurt Airport.
“Air Canada is very pleased to expand its rail offer in Germany with codeshare on Lufthansa Express Rail, operated by Deutsche Bahn, the Star Alliance’s first intermodal partner,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer and President, Cargo.
“Our intermodal connections provide customers with more travel options and make it easier for them to reach their final destinations.”
Galardo added the partnership enhances the travel experience by allowing customers to “book through Air Canada for both air and rail travel,” simplifying transfers and offering added security in case of delays.
The airline is scheduled to operate up to five flights daily to the Frankfurt in 2025.
Air Canada launched its international intermodal program in 2023.
It now includes train and coach connections across eight countries, such as France (SNCF), Austria (ÖBB), Italy (Trenitalia), Spain (Renfe), Switzerland (SBB), South Korea (KTX), and the UK (LNER, Avanti, Great Western, TransPennine Express, and National Express).
