On Thursday (June 26, 2025), Air Canada announced the launch of a new codeshare partnership with Lufthansa Express Rail operated by Deutsche Bahn.  The new partnership enables a seamless intermodal itinerary booked with one reservation and convenient rail connections at Frankfurt Airport connecting to or from Air Canada’s up to five daily flights to Frankfurt.  This codeshare expansion enhances Air Canada’s international rail and bus intermodal network, which includes interlining partnerships in seven European countries and South Korea.


In Thursday’s announcement, Air Canada’s EVP & Chief Commercial Officer, and President Cargo, Mark Galardo, said,


“Air Canada is very pleased to expand its rail offer in Germany with codeshare on Lufthansa Express Rail, operated by Deutsche Bahn, the Star Alliance’s first intermodal partner.  Our intermodal connections provide customers with more travel options and make it easier for them to reach their final destinations.  By elevating our partnership to a codeshare, we enhance the travel experience for our customers, enabling them to book through Air Canada for both air and rail travel.  Among its many benefits, this makes check-in and connecting seamless, and includes a transfer guarantee, ensuring customer support and rebooking assistance in the event of travel disruptions.”


Travelers can now book their combined air and rail journey in Germany through the Air Canada website or via their travel agent.  Customers arriving or departing Frankfurt Airport will be able to connect onto Lufthansa Express Rail to as many as 24 stations as part of their flight itinerary. The new codeshare agreement complements Air Canada’s existing intermodal interlining partnership with Lufthansa Express Rail, as well as the Deutsche Bahn Rail&Fly product.
