American Airlines and Porter Airlines celebrate new partnership enhancing North American travel

"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.

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 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, travellers will have convenient options for choosing their favourite 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.
