(MENAFN- Dubai PR Network) flydubai and Air Canada announce a Codeshare Partnership
The new agreement will enable more passengers from Canada to connect seamlessly via Dubai's Aviation hub to a number of destinations on flydubai's growing network
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 17 May 2023: flydubai, the Dubai-based carrier, announced a new partnership with Air Canada to give customers flying between Canada, the Middle East, East Africa, Indian Subcontinent and Southern Asia more convenient travel options.
Pending final regulatory approval, Air Canada's marketing code will be placed on nine routes operated from Dubai by flydubai, giving customers the ability to travel to these markets with the issuance of a single ticket. The nine routes include Bahrain, Dammam, Jeddah, Madinah and Muscat in the GCC as well as to Colombo and Karachi in the Indian Subcontinent.
Additionally, through an interline arrangement, customers will be able to seamlessly connect in Dubai to more than 60 destinations that flydubai flies to in the Middle East, East Africa and Southern Asia – including Djibouti, Kathmandu and the Maldives. Of these destinations, more than 30 are unique to flydubai and not flown by other partners of Air Canada.
Commenting on the codeshare announcement, Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, said:“we are very pleased to be adding Air Canada to our list of partners and to offer their passengers a seamless travel experience on the flydubai network. We look forward to growing this partnership that offers passengers the benefits and the convenience of connecting via the Dubai aviation hub and we look forward to welcoming them on board soon.”
Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President, Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada, said:“Air Canada is very pleased to partner with flydubai, further expanding our connectivity to the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, a growing source of immigration and travel to Canada. This new partnership is a perfect complement to Air Canada's nonstop service to Dubai from Toronto and Vancouver, and growing our relationship with Emirates, flydubai's codeshare partner. Together we look forward to bringing together our networks and building a better experience for our customers.”
The airlines also plan on further improving the connection process in Dubai and are working toward introducing expanded features and benefits for one another's loyalty programme members to be announced later this year.
Seats are available for sale now at aircanada.com, via Air Canada's Contact Centres, and through travel agents.
