Emirates, Air Canada extend codeshare partnership until 2032

In a significant move to bolster their strategic collaboration, Emirates and Air Canada have announced the extension of their codeshare partnership until December 2032. This decision comes on the heels of a highly successful three-year partnership that has already served over 550,000 passengers across 56 codeshare destinations, connecting Canada, the United States, Dubai, and other major global hubs. The renewed agreement, formalized through a memorandum of understanding, aims to deepen cooperation between the two aviation giants, enhance passenger and cargo services, and explore new Canadian gateways within their shared network. Additionally, the airlines are considering a joint cargo project to optimize the global movement of goods. Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, emphasized that the partnership will strengthen the airline’s capabilities, offering customers a more seamless travel experience and expanded connectivity. Mark Galardo, Air Canada’s Executive Vice President, highlighted the success of the collaboration, which prompted the early renewal and extension of the agreement. This partnership is expected to significantly boost tourism and trade between Canada and the UAE, while providing travelers with greater flexibility and supporting efficient cargo operations across the Americas, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.
