Air Canada Plans

Air Canada plans partnership with Continental Airlines :

Montreal-based Air Canada Airlines recently announced plans to partner with Continental Airlines, the fourth-largest carrier in the United States, to provide enhanced service to the American market. Canada's largest airline said the agreement in principle, which is subject to regulatory approvals, will provide customers a broader network of destinations, frequent-flyer benefits and lounge access. This has resulted in an explosion in the number of international airlines flying to India.

Air Canada, trimming US service on lower demand and rising fuel costs, said the partnership may help fill more seats since it will help travellers book two-stage trips that involve a flight on each carrier, possibly steering more passengers on to Air Canada's Airlines US routes. The alliance is a way of responding to the high cost of fuel, confirmed Ben Smith, Chief Commercial Officer, Air Canada . Air Canada already has an agreement with United Airlines, which is a Star Alliance partner. Family packages or other packages are also rendered out. Continental announced in June this year its plans to join the Star group after exiting its current partnership with Sky Team. The transfer could take months to complete because Continental can't terminate its contract with Sky Team until nine months after the closing of the proposed merger between Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines.
