American Airlines is teaming up with Porter Airlines, a Toronto-based carrier, up on a new codeshare partnership on travel between the U.S. and Canada.

“Canada is one of the most popular destinations for travelers, and American is excited to partner with Porter Airlines to unlock more travel options for customers,” says American senior VP Anmol Bhargava in a release. “This partnership puts customers at the forefront, and we look forward to providing even more seamless transborder travel options together.”

Codeshare partners are airlines that have an agreement to sell seats on each other's flights, allowing passengers to book a flight through one airline but fly on a plane operated by another.

Porter Airlines senior VP Edmond Eldebs says that the partnership will provide more options between Canada and the U.S.

"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," Eldebs says.

Since 2006, Porter Airlines has been elevating the experience of economy air travel with a fleet of Embraer E195-E2 and De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft, serving a North American network from Eastern Canada.
