MONTREAL — Air Canada has signed a codeshare agreement with airBaltic, providing travellers with additional travel options when flying between Canada and Europe’s Baltic states.

Effective for travel beginning Nov. 6, 2024, Air Canada’s marketing code will be placed on 10 routes operated by airBaltic, which will allow customers to conveniently travel to Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania on a single ticket. The routes include the capital cities of Vilnius (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia), and Tallinn (Estonia) from several European gateways, including Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Stockholm.

Also effective for travel beginning Nov. 6, 2024, airBaltic’s marketing code will be placed on two routes operated by Air Canada from Toronto to Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Next summer, airBaltic’s marketing code will be added on Air Canada’s seasonal services from Montreal to Copenhagen and Amsterdam, as well as Toronto to Stockholm.

“Air Canada is very pleased to expand its longstanding relationship with airBaltic to enable greater connectivity and customer convenience when travelling between Canada and Northern Europe,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada. “This new codeshare partnership serves the growing travel demand between Canada and the Baltic region and builds on Air Canada’s global growth strategy by leveraging its extensive, nonstop network from Canada to Scandinavia and key European gateways including Amsterdam.”

Martin Gauss, President and CEO at airBaltic, added: “This new codeshare partnership will now offer both airBaltic and Air Canada travellers expanded travel options between all three Baltic capitals and Canada, with a seamless one-stop connection through other European cities. We are looking forward to a successful, long-term collaboration.”

The airlines will also be exploring benefits for each other’s loyalty program members in the future.
