In a hands-across-the-Atlantic move, Air Canada is becoming the first North American airline with one-ticket access to the three capitals of the Baltic states, Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius.
The new codeshare arrangement starts November 6, with Air Canada codes being added to AirBaltic flights from cities the two airlines serve, including Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Stockholm. AirBaltic codes will be added to Air Canada’s flights from Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Next summer, Montreal routes will be added to the mix.
The airlines say they will also be exploring benefits for each other’s loyalty programme members in the future, such as earning points on a full itinerary in the program of choice.
