Qatar Airways, Porter Airlines Announce New Codeshare Partnership

Qatar Airways is expanding its reach across Canada through a new codeshare agreement with Porter Airlines, giving travellers more options for connecting between Canadian cities and destinations around the world.

Under the agreement, Qatar Airways will place its QR code on select Porter-operated flights, allowing passengers to connect beyond the airline’s existing Canadian gateways in Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and Montreal-Trudeau (YUL).

The partnership will provide greater access to Canadian destinations including Edmonton, Halifax, Ottawa, St. John’s and Thunder Bay, tapping into Porter’s expanding domestic network and strong presence in Eastern Canada.

Codeshare flights are available for travel beginning November 16, 2026.

For Canadian travellers heading overseas, the agreement also opens up more connecting options through Qatar Airways’ hub at Hamad International Airport in Doha.

From Toronto and Montreal, passengers can access the airline’s global network of more than 170 destinations, including Delhi, Manila, Dubai and Addis Ababa.

The agreement comes as Qatar Airways continues to strengthen its Canadian presence.

The airline currently operates daily flights to both Toronto and Montreal, offering a combined 14 weekly departures.

For Porter, the partnership represents another opportunity to connect its growing Canadian network with international destinations through a global airline partner.

The new codeshare is expected to provide travellers with greater flexibility when planning journeys within Canada and abroad, while extending Qatar Airways’ reach into markets beyond its two Canadian gateways.
