United Airlines & Air Canada Are Making Transborder Travel Easier
United Airlines & Air Canada announced this week that they are expanding their partnership and alliance with each other. Their goal in doing this is to better serve their customers looking to make transborder travel between the U.S. and Canada.
The partnership will offer customers more flight options with better routing and less lengthy connections. This will include 38 codeshare destinations in the U.S. and 8 of the most popular cities in Canada.
The two airlines have already worked together for years now but they are looking to strengthen that relationship. Under the new agreement between the two airlines should be able to do the following (assuming it passes U.S. and Canadian regulatory and antitrust requirements):
- Coordinate their schedules and networks. Including more access to each airline’s seating inventory.
- Offering access to an increased number of locations, 46 destinations in total, with more than 400 daily frequencies in 2022.
- The two airlines will be able to share revenue on flights between hub markets.
- They will establish airport co-locations which should lead to greater consistency for the customer experience.
This will essentially allow the airlines to work more as partners instead of simply being Star Alliance partners.
