Air Canada & airBaltic enter codeshare agreement

Air Canada and airBaltic have announced a codeshare agreement, providing customers additional options when flying between Canada and Europe's Baltic states.

Effective for travel beginning Nov. 6, 2024 (subject to final regulatory approvals), Air Canada's marketing code will be placed on 10 routes operated by airBaltic, enabling customers to travel to Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania on a single ticket.

The routes include the capital cities of Vilnius (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia) and Tallinn (Estonia) from several European gateways, including Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Stockholm.

Also starting Nov. 6, airBaltic's marketing code will be placed on two routes operated by Air Canada from Toronto to Copenhagen and Amsterdam.

Next summer, airBaltic's marketing code will be added on Air Canada's seasonal services from Montreal to Copenhagen and Amsterdam, as well as Toronto to Stockholm.

"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," said Mark Galardo, executive vice-president, revenue and network planning at Air Canada.

The airlines will also be exploring benefits for each other's loyalty program members in the future.
