Emirates and Air Canada have revealed plans to grow and prolong their strategic partnership, which has opened up global access to more than 225 destinations around the world.
The announcement follows an order of eight more Airbus A350-900 aircraft placed by the airline on the third day of the Dubai Airshow 2025.
In a statement, Emirates said that the updated agreement will enhance services for both customers and cargo shippers, and create opportunities for new destinations across Canada, the Americas, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.
Additionally, the extended agreement will enhance the customer experience with improved priority benefits and closer collaboration between the airlines, including a planned relocation of operations to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) after 2032.
“Renewing this partnership is great news, not just for our customers – many of whom have family, cultural or business ties to these regions – but also for Canada, as it enhances our ability to connect the country to the world amid evolving trade and travel patterns,” said Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President of Cargo division at Air Canada.
Since the start of their initial partnership in 2022, both airlines have already served more than 550,000 customers, connecting travelers through 56 codeshare routes that link Canada, the United States, Dubai, and other destinations.
The airlines have signed a memorandum of understanding to extend their reciprocal codeshare until December 31, 2032.
