Aviation ties: Air India restores codeshare with Air Canada; flyers get wider access across Canada

Air India on Saturday announced it has reinstated its codeshare partnership with Air Canada, resuming a tie-up that was suspended more than five years ago during the coronavirus pandemic.

Under the renewed arrangement, Air India will offer passengers access to six destinations in Canada beyond its gateways at Vancouver and London Heathrow, PTI reported. The airline will place its ‘AI’ designator code on Air Canada-operated flights connecting Vancouver to Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montréal and Halifax, and from London Heathrow to Vancouver and Calgary.
