Swiss and Air Canada are expanding their existing codeshare partnership starting July 3 of this year. As reported by the Aeroroutes portal, the collaboration will include six additional routes within Canada, served from Halifax. Among the new destinations in the joint flight offering are Vancouver and Ottawa.
This expansion of the codeshare agreement will allow Swiss passengers to book these domestic Canadian connections under a Swiss flight number, even though the flights are operated by Air Canada. This will provide more convenient onward travel for passengers arriving in Halifax from Europe with Swiss, for example, who wish to continue their journey to other destinations in Canada. Air Canada customers will also benefit from a wider selection of connecting flights to Europe via the Halifax hub.
Codesharing is a common practice in the aviation industry, allowing airlines to sell seats on partner flights, thus virtually expanding their route network. For passengers, this often means a wider choice of connections and easier booking of travel chains. Swiss and Air Canada are both members of the Star Alliance, a global network of airlines that promotes close cooperation among its members.
The gradual launch of the new codeshare routes from July 2025 underlines the commitment of both airlines to strengthen their presence in transatlantic and intra-Canada traffic and to offer their customers an even more comprehensive travel experience.
