AAdvantage® members will be able to earn AAdvantage® miles for travel on Porter Airlines flights marketed under the American Airlines code

FORT WORTH, Texas & TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Airlines and Porter Airlines are teaming up on a new codeshare partnership to give customers more ways to travel between the United States and Canada. Starting today, customers can book codeshare itineraries on aa.com or American’s mobile app, as well as on flyporter.com.

"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."

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

“Canada is one of the most popular destinations for travellers 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.”

Expanding options in the Americas

Porter will place its code on select American transborder and domestic flights, giving passengers seamless access to more destinations when travelling from Canada.

This includes connections through American’s key hubs at Charlotte, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Fort Worth and Philadelphia, creating smooth itineraries that link Porter’s growing Canadian network with American’s expansive reach across the U.S.

Porter’s code will also be placed on American’s southern network, extending access to destinations in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, providing more options for both leisure and business travel.

Additional destinations and loyalty program integration is intended for future phases of the partnership, including earning and redeeming points on each airline.
