Air Canada has today announced the signing of a new codeshare agreement with airBaltic, which will expand connectivity between Canada and Northern Europe.
On Wednesday (October 23, 2024), Air Canada announced the launch of a new codeshare partnership airBaltic. Effective November 6, 2024, Air Canada will place their marketing code on 10 routes operated by airBaltic including service to Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia) and Vilnius (Lithuania). Likewise, airBaltic’s code will be added to Air Canada flights from Toronto to Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Next summer airBaltic’s marketing code will also be added on Air Canada’s seasonal flights from Montreal to Copenhagen and Amsterdam, as well as between Toronto and Stockholm. The carriers will also explore benefits for each other’s loyalty program members in the future.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Air Canada’s EVP – Revenue and Network Planning, Mark Galardo, said,
“Air Canada is very pleased to expand its longstanding relationship with airBaltic to enable greater connectivity and customer convenience when travelling between Canada and Northern Europe. This new codeshare partnership serves the growing travel demand between Canada and the Baltic region and builds on Air Canada's global growth strategy by leveraging its extensive, non-stop network from Canada to Scandinavia and key European gateways including Amsterdam.”
Also commenting on the new codeshare partnership, airBaltic’s President and CEO, Martin Gauss, added,
“We are pleased to announce our codeshare agreement with our long-term interline partner Air Canada, providing our customers with enhanced connectivity. This new codeshare partnership will now offer both airBaltic and Air Canada travellers expanded travel options between all three Baltic capitals and Canada, with a seamless one-stop connection through other European cities.
