DOHA— Qatar Airways is extending its reach across Canada through a new codeshare agreement with Porter Airlines.

Under the agreement, Qatar Airways will add its QR code to select Porter-operated flights, giving passengers more options to connect beyond the airline’s existing Canadian gateways in Toronto and Montreal.

The partnership will draw on Porter’s growing domestic network and strong presence in Eastern Canada to provide access to destinations including Edmonton, Halifax, Ottawa, St. John’s and Thunder Bay.

Codeshare flights are available for booking through the Qatar Airways website and app for travel beginning Nov. 16, 2026.

The agreement will also give travellers departing from Canada greater flexibility when planning international journeys. Passengers flying from Toronto and Montreal can connect through Hamad International Airport in Doha to access Qatar Airways’ network of more than 170 destinations worldwide.

Destinations served through the airline’s global network include Delhi, Manila, Dubai and Addis Ababa.

Qatar Airways currently operates daily services to both Toronto and Montreal, offering a total of 14 weekly flights to Canada. 

The news follows last month’s launch of Qatar Airways’ new codeshare partnership with WestJet, which allows WestJet passengers to also access Doha through Qatar’s Canadian gateways.
