flydubaiFlydubai and Air Canada have entered into a code-sharing partnership, offering more convenient travel options between Canada and the Middle East, as well as East Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and Southern Asia. This collaboration will add at least 30 unique destinations that are not currently served by Air Canada or its partners.
Upon receiving regulatory approval, Air Canada’s marketing code will be placed on nine routes operated by flydubai from Dubai. This means that customers will be able to travel to these markets with a single ticket. The nine routes include destinations such as Bahrain, Dammam, Jeddah, Madinah, Muscat, Colombo, and Karachi.
Through an interline arrangement, passengers will also have the opportunity to connect in Dubai to over 60 destinations served by flydubai in the Middle East, East Africa, and Southern Asia. This includes popular locations like Djibouti, Kathmandu, and the Maldives.
Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating that they are delighted to add Air Canada to their list of partners and provide passengers with a seamless travel experience on their network. He looks forward to growing the partnership and welcoming Air Canada passengers on board soon.
Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President of Revenue and Network Planning at Air Canada, commented on the partnership, highlighting its significance in expanding connectivity to the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. He sees this collaboration as a complement to Air Canada’s existing nonstop service to Dubai from Toronto and Vancouver and aims to enhance the travel experience for customers by bringing together the networks of both airlines.
