  • Travelers can book eligible codeshare flights across both carriers starting today.
  • Agreement will grow over time to cover more of each airline’s network.
  • AAdvantage® members will be able to earn AAdvantage® miles for travel on Porter Airlines flights marketed under the American Airlines code.

American Airlines and Porter Airlines are teaming up on a new codeshare partnership to give customers more ways to travel between the U.S. and Canada. Starting today, customers can book codeshare itineraries for flights on aa.com or American’s mobile app, as well as on flyporter.com.

“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, American’s Senior Vice President of Global Alliances. “This partnership puts customers at the forefront, and we look forward to providing even more seamless transborder travel options together.”

American and Porter will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand this relationship further through expanded codeshare destinations and loyalty benefits.

“This partnership 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.”

Reach more of Canada’s coastlines and cities

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 AAdvantage® miles and Loyalty Points for their travels.

American operates more flights to YYZ than any other U.S. carrier. With more than 25 peak daily flights, travelers will have convenient options for choosing their favorite itinerary from across the U.S. to YYZ and beyond. 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.

In addition to YYZ in Canada, American offers year-round flights to Calgary (YYC), Montreal (YUL) and Vancouver (YVR) as well as seasonal service to Halifax (YHZ) and Quebec City (YQB). The codeshare partnership will offer travelers more routing options to their favorite destinations or the opportunity to explore new locales in Canada.
