On Monday (September 29, 2025), American Airlines announced the launch of a new codeshare partnership with Porter Airlines, which will offer customers more ways to travel between the U.S. and Canada. Starting today, customers can book codeshare itineraries for flights on both airlines’ websites and apps.  American and Porter will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand this relationship with more codeshare destinations and reciprocal loyalty benefits.

In Monday’s announcement, American’s SVP – Global Alliances, Anmol Bhargava, said,

“Canada is one of the most popular destinations for travelers, and American is excited to partner with Porter Airlines to unlock more travel options for customers.  This partnership puts customers at the forefront, and we look forward to providing even more seamless transborder travel options together.”

Also commenting on the new codeshare partnership, Porter Airlines’ SVP and Chief Commercial Officer, Edmond Eldebs, said,

“This partnership with American Airlines provides a true competitive alternative for passengers needing more options when flying between Canada and the United States.  By initially combining Porter’s growing Canadian network with American’s extensive reach in the U.S. and southern destinations, we are offering improved connectivity in combination with Porter’s commitment to high-quality service.  This is something that we are committed to growing with additional global routing options and future VIPorter loyalty integration.”

Under the new codeshare partnership, American will place their marketing code on select flights operated by Porter from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

AAdvantage^® members purchasing a codeshare flight operated by Porter earn both AAdvantage^® miles and Loyalty Points for their travels.  American will also place their code on Porter’s flights between YYZ and Phoenix (PHX), with additional transborder flights to come.  In addition to Toronto Pearson, American offers year-round flights to Calgary (YYC), Montreal (YUL) and Vancouver (YVR) as well as seasonal service to Halifax (YHZ) and Quebec City (YQB).
