Air India-Air Canada codeshare restored
Air India (AI) and Air Canada (AC) restored a codeshare on November 22, 2025, reopening a key transatlantic connection and improving booking options for flyers between India and Canada.
The Air India Air Canada codeshare return on November 22, 2025, marks the end of a suspension that lasted more than a year. The renewed agreement lets passengers book a single itinerary across operators, easing connections between India and Canada and offering Air India customers access to more domestic Canadian destinations served by Air Canada.
Both carriers are Star Alliance members, and the move strengthens network cooperation across the Atlantic. Travelers should see more seamless transfers, coordinated schedules where possible, and broader access to frequencies without changing carriers mid-journey.
What the Air India Air Canada codeshare means
Practically, the codeshare simplifies reservations: one ticket, shared flight numbers, and joint interline-like convenience on many routings. For Canadian travellers heading to India, and for the large India–Canada VFR (visiting friends and relatives) and business traffic, this should reduce friction and expand routing options. The agreement is primarily commercial and routing-focused; neither airline has announced new aircraft purchases tied to the pact.
- Benefit: Air India Air Canada codeshare lets flyers book connected itineraries across AI and AC with easier baggage and transfer planning.
Operational details such as which specific flights carry the partner code, exact route rollouts, and schedule coordination will be published by the airlines and on booking platforms over the coming days. Passengers should check both carriers’ websites or their travel agent for updated flight numbers, availability, and fare rules.
For now, the reinstated codeshare is a timely boost to transatlantic connectivity amid growing travel demand between India and Canada, and it highlights how alliance partnerships like Star Alliance continue to underpin global airline networks.
