Air India and Air Canada Revive Codeshare Partnership After Pandemic Hiatus
New Delhi – November 23, 2025 – Air India announced on Saturday the reinstatement of its codeshare partnership with Air Canada, effective immediately. The agreement, suspended over five years ago during the coronavirus pandemic, will significantly expand travel options for passengers traveling between India and Canada.
The codeshare will allow Air India to offer its passengers access to six Canadian destinations beyond Vancouver and London (Heathrow), including Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, and Halifax via Vancouver, and Vancouver and Calgary via London Heathrow. Air India will place its ‘AI’ designator code on Air Canada-operated flights on these routes.
Air Canada customers will also benefit, gaining seamless connectivity to Amritsar, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kochi via Delhi, and to Delhi and Mumbai via London Heathrow.
“This renewed partnership will provide enhanced travel options and convenience for passengers traveling between India and Canada,” stated an Air India release.
This represents Air India’s only codeshare partnership with a North American carrier. During the pandemic, the then government-owned airline suspended all codeshare agreements. Air India now has 23 codeshare and 96 interline partners.
