TORONTO — Porter Airlines and American Airlines have entered a new codeshare agreement that expands travel options between Canada, the United States and beyond.
Starting today, Sept. 29, 2025, travellers can book codeshare itineraries on aa.com, American’s mobile app and flyporter.com. The partnership will grow to cover more destinations, with loyalty program integration also planned for future phases.
“This partnership with American Airlines provides a true competitive alternative for passengers needing more options when flying between Canada and the United States,” said Edmond Eldebs, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Porter Airlines. “By initially combining Porter’s growing Canadian network with American’s extensive reach in the U.S. and southern destinations, we are offering improved connectivity, in combination with Porter’s commitment to high-quality service. This is something that we are committed to growing with additional global routing options and future VIPorter loyalty integration.”
Anmol Bhargava, American’s senior vice president of global alliances at American Airlines, added: “Canada is one of the most popular destinations for travellers and American is excited to partner with Porter Airlines to unlock more travel options for customers. This partnership puts customers at the forefront, and we look forward to providing even more seamless transborder travel options together.”
The agreement, which was first filed with the U.S. Department of Transportation in July 2025, includes connections through American’s hubs in Charlotte, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Fort Worth and Philadelphia. Porter’s code will also be placed on American’s southern network, giving passengers more access to destinations in the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
American will place its code on select Porter flights out of Toronto Pearson International Airport, including domestic routes and transborder service to Phoenix. AAdvantage members who book codeshare flights operated by Porter will earn both miles and Loyalty Points.
Codeshare flights available now include Charlotte, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Fort Worth and Philadelphia on American, as well as Edmonton, Halifax, Ottawa, Victoria and Winnipeg on Porter. More destinations will be added in the coming weeks, such as Honolulu, Nashville, New Orleans, Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Jose, Calgary, Charlottetown, Kelowna, St. John’s, Saskatoon and Vancouver.
For American, the new agreement builds on its existing footprint in Canada. The carrier operates more flights to Toronto Pearson than any other U.S. airline, with more than 25 peak daily departures, along with year-round service to Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary, and seasonal flights to Halifax and Quebec City.
The two carriers plan to expand the partnership further, adding more codeshare destinations and integrating loyalty benefits for frequent flyers.
