Air Canada, TAP Portugal Partner on Code Sharing
Air Canada and fellow Star Alliance partner TAP Portugal have announced that they have entered a code-share agreement that will create more travel options and better connections for customers traveling between Canada and Portugal.
Under the agreement, TAP and Air Canada have begun offering codeshare flights between Canada and Portugal via selected points.
Services between Canadian cities such as Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, and the Portuguese cities of Lisbon and Porto, have been added to both carriers’ networks. This provides significant benefits to both Air Canada and TAP customers, including simplified booking, reciprocal travel reward accumulation, seamless connections on a single ticket, and baggage check-through to final destination.
The agreement provides for TAP to place its code, TP, on Air Canada flights between Canadian cities and international gateways, such as Newark (U.S.), London (U.K.) or Madrid (Spain).
It also allows Air Canada to place its flight code, AC, on flights operated by TAP Portugal between Lisbon or Porto and the above-mentioned gateways. Both carriers will thus offer services between Portugal and Canada, via selected connecting points, each one using its own code throughout the entire itinerary.
