Air Transat and Porter Airlines evolve their relationship into a feeder joint venture

Source Node: 2984279

Air Transat and Porter Airlines are extending their existing code-sharing agreement by creating a joint venture, transforming the current Canadian aviation competitive landscape.

By combining both airlines’ complementary networks, this Alliance offers travellers significant benefits, including enhanced travel options across multiple regions. The Alliance expands services between North, Central and South America, Europe, North Africa, Mexico and the Caribbean, integrating Porter’s and Transat’s highly-complementary, non-overlapping networks at Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and Montreal Trudeau (YUL) airports.

Travellers will have access to a broader network through enhanced commercial collaboration and optimization (CNW Group/Porter Airlines Inc.)

This feeder network strategy is designed to facilitate the acceleration of both airlines’ expansion in their respective markets: domestic and transborder short- and medium-haul for Porter, and international medium- and long-haul for Air Transat. It will also foster stronger network optimization through collaboration on scheduling and route planning. The Alliance will be gradually implemented throughout 2024.

This Alliance is an evolution of the current codeshare agreement between Air Transat and Porter, which has been active since October 2022.

It demonstrates the commitment of both companies to a long-term collaboration, allowing Air Transat and Porter to align goals, strategies and resources to achieve their ambitions.
