Porter and American Airlines Codeshare Launches

Porter Airlines and American Airlines have launched a codeshare agreement that will offer Canadian travellers more ways to fly to the U.S.

"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,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. 

To start, Porter will place its code on select American transborder and domestic flights, including to American’s key hubs at Charlotte, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Fort Worth and Philadelphia. The move is aimed at “creating smooth itineraries that link Porter’s growing Canadian network with American’s expansive reach” across the U.S. According to the airline, Porter’s code will also be placed on American’s southern network, extending access to destinations in the Caribbean, Central America and South America.

More destinations and loyalty program integration (including earning and redeeming points on each airline) are on the horizon. “This is something that we are committed to growing with additional global routing options and future VIPorter loyalty integration," said Eldebs. 

On the other side of the equation, American will place its code on select flights operated by Porter from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). AAdvantage® members purchasing a codeshare flight operated by Porter earn both miles and Loyalty Points for their travels.

 In addition to domestic routes in Canada, American will also place its code on Porter’s flights between YYZ and Phoenix (PHX), with additional transborder flights to come. 

 American also offers year-round flights to Calgary (YYC), Montreal (YUL) and Vancouver (YVR), as well as seasonal service to Halifax (YHZ) and Quebec City (YQB).
